BUILD DA BOX

Getting closer to trying the box build info.
One question would positioning the saw at 45 angle produce a smother cut due to more blade teeth surface . I have not tried it yet on scrap , I don't have any yet, and waiting on my stopsaw to arrive :yipee:. Just thought maybe you had tried it . Thanks.

I am not exactly sure what your ? is robert?? The blade type would affect the smoothnest of the cut more then the angle of the blade.
 
Thanks Mike for forwarding this to me. Could you tell me how to make the jig for splining?
 
I will get you a couple pictures- pretty simple and crude.
 
I'm still a newbie and running into all kinds of really cool older posts here. Mike you're boxes are absolutely beautiful! I may have missed it in the post but do you have any details on that peice you are using to cut the coves on the table saw?
 
I think someone thing isn't working right for me. I see two attachments but it's like its shows up like this [attachment=8506].
 
Should be able to go to the bottom of post and click on picture. Let me know if it works. @GeorgeS
 
Thanks Mike, I see the pic. I guess my brains a little fuzzy and I should have been a little more clear in what I was looking for. Do you have the specifics on it as in the name of such a tool and maybe who makes them? Do they come in different sizes? That's a very cool blade!

I think I bought it at Rockler. CMT cove cutter. Only one size that I know of but you can change the shape and size of cove with a different angle. A regular blade will work though. Just a little more sanding.

Above- I clamp with cheap corner clamps to keep stable while clamping. They are cheap and work. Any questions or steps that need clarifying please ask- otherwise this all is a waste. My philosophy is the only stupid question is the one that is not asked........... Here is my helper -she is very efficient at putting the clamps I just got out back in box- having gramps spin her in chair, playing in sawdust and escaping gramma every chance she gets and making a dash to the shop.

I raise the blade 1/16" or less each pass. Usually stop when I like the look but if in doubt use a straight edge to figure out how much wood you have left.
 
Hey Mike, keep the threads coming, really informative. Getting ready to starstart making some boxes myself here soon
