Cutting the slots with the biscuit machine and I had forgot to reset the depth for it was set for # 10 biscuits and I had run out and only had #20 in the shop...got to the lumber yard right at closing time and stuck my foot in the door as he was locking up and told him I ain't leaving cause you got most of my shoe on your side so sell me some biscuits and I will take both shoes and go home... I had already put glue in nine slots and tried my best to squeeze some # 20 ies in a # 10 hole and that just don't work too good. I did manage to find 9 biscuits for the two pieces I already had glue spread everywhere and for sure didn't want to ruin two 36" pieces of maple....... I usually dry fit those things cause some brands ain't worth a flip but was in a hurry cause maw was telling me to come eat or else she was gonna throw it away.... Anyway I got the 4 pieces glued up with 27 biscuits and this morning finished smoothing them and got the pattern on and by dark tonight I had all the pieces cut out... .Hardest, lop sided, partially not all there but I did manage to add lib I guess thats the word for it and all the white area was not part of the original pattern when I started laying it out....I don't have a clue as to how it will turn out but I cut it up in to about 12 pieces for it makes it easier to hold on to while the dremel is doing its thing... It was way too big for the scroll saw so the jig saw got a working out. Hardest work I have done in a long time for maple is awfully heavy. I set that clock dial up there to convince myself I can correct what the original photo made it look like..
