January 30, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_176341 just last week, i carefully glued up some wood to make a recipe box for my wife. had the length measured, with some excess, so i could cut the sides and have the grain chase around the corners. then time to cut the sides in sequence. first three went great...uh oh, last piece looks a little short. re-measure....crap. set the fence wrong, every piece was too long. had to start over from scratch. this was the result of attempt #2. even this piece has a few mistakes, but it's going to have to do.

Thanks Stick) oh, yeah, those. those are made out of walnut. 7/64" thick (because my TS blade cuts a kerf that is 7/64" wide, and i didn't feel like changing blades, so i used my Incra fence adjustment to cut 7/64" thick Spline stock.).
