jerry1939 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Posted July 1, 2017 The only thing different about this for me is that I used 1/16" solid oak for the cut piece. A word to the wise; You hold your breath a lot cutting 1/16". jerry Phantom Scroller, New Guy, Lucky2 and 4 others 7 Quote

Nice to see your work. 2 of our sons are senior engineers. I bought 1/6 from Ocooch for theirs. I didn't like the ones I did in the past out of 1/8. I do think that 1/16th looks much more professional. This particular piece was done because I got tired of tripping of the scrap. jerry Quote

jerry1939 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Posted July 10, 2017 Most people on this site disagree with this, but for the time spent cutting something fragile, I ALWAYS put a 1/4" luan sacrifice board above and below my piece. Run the luan grain in the opposite direction of your piece. 1. It adds a tremendous amount of strength. 2. You have better blade control by cutting a greater thickness. 3. The luan cost is minimal in comparison to chipping out a fragile piece, using certain words and throwing it away. Quote
