Turned out great Kevin. Very fitting considering the the material's history. Some beautiful grain.

 

Take care of yourself on this extended road trip. Sounds to be grueling. Stop in and chat when you are able. You don't have to have a project in process for that.

Kevin, I have found this tool to be worth the price of admission:

 

 

Before this HF version I had a Wixy.

I can't imagine that the saw cannot go to 45*, check those things that Lew mentioned.

square nails

That is a great project, Kevin! Love the final! Sturdy; it'll stand up however it's used.

 

Not toooo long ago I showed a square nail to someone and he told me his daughter or niece studied and dated old nails ... Duh! Wish I paid more attention! Cannot believe I let that potential resource slip from my knowledge!

Well done Kevin. His smile says it all.
