Thanks, John. Yep, 80 years gone. Where did they go? I don't know.

Wow guys, I'm overwhelmed with all the birthday wishes. I want to thank each one of you.

Thank you, HandyDan

Thanks for that,Lew

I'll do my best but, we need a place to send it. We have had the snowiest November in at least 70 years here. https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/anchorage/2023/11/17/anchorage-hits-november-snow-record-after-burst-of-storms/

Thank you Grandpadave52. I'm doing well and celebrating my 80th birthday today.

Cool and unusual, thanks for sharing.

First Gary, good job on project look grate and useful. Cutting board safety and the FDA.....Meh........The FDA allows toxic chemicals in out foods the other countries ban. I'll take a wooden cutting board any day. Lol, I've eaten off of things you wouldn't believe and I'm still here.

To be perfectly honest the places I usually put screws doesen't require perfect countersinks.

Try using a single flute bit. Not necessarily from Woodcraft but any good brand.

Not really, nothing worth posting any way. You'll be first to know. Us old people are slow.

I'll bet it fits just fine. That cardboard template should almost guarantee it

A little side note or history about this project. Back in January of 2010 bucket list post/thread. In that thread I had listed this project. If you do follow this link you'll have to scroll to the top of the page to see the entire thread.

Thanks you John and Gene for the information on the files. As special thanks to John for pointing out the "you are never going to get that line perfect," You are right but I have to try. And of course thanks to stick for posting the video. It looks like my next task is to order me some now files. On a side note @ 7:45 this morning another 5.0 earthquake. Seem like mother nature is relentless.

I have a project I've been working for a while. Its been a bit of a challenge for me. The carcass is done and it's time for the drawers. I'm in a bit over my head. As the title says I need your input on tools and techniques to shape this drawer front. I have included some photos to help clarify what I'm trying to accomplish The first picture shows a practice piece of wood and the basic shape of the Block Front drawer. The Second picture I'm pointing to the area of most concern. This it where the flat area transitions to the curved part of the drawer front. I'm having much trouble make in nice clean sharp transition in that area. The third photo explains/shows what I what to achieve. (the drawing on the left). The drawing on the right is what I don't want. I want of avoid have small inside radius you get as when you route inside corner. I have also included a like video link to further help you under strand my goal. If you go to the 7:30 mark you can save so time.

"The problem is they're not getting their junk back." I though that's what I said. We are paying them to put it in our landfill.

Them Chinese are pretty darn smart. They get paid to deposit junk in our landfill.

Interesting design. Look like the making of a winner!

Thanks, I also need more practice at posting here. I don't know why that one photos came out on top of the written content. One of the photos was my first try and other other is my last try.

Ya, thanks Lew. Good article. Since you visit over at Lumber Jock you already know this but for those who don't To make a long story I've been practicing 1/2 blind dovetails and just plain old sawing. Ever time I go to the shop I grab a board and just practice sawing. The dovetailing practice was going great until the earthquake though my whole schedule off. An know that the weather is hovering around Zero I tend to not go the the shop as often (heating bill). Anyway without further ado hears a few pictures. And yes I have a lot more practice to do
