Thank you for the points there, I put it on a kit as I am curious to see the finished article, I have a disassembler tool and take it apart afterwards ;-)


As for the finish you mentioned I'm not too sure why it went like that when the padauk looked so nice... I'm going to try again on Tuesday night, and take on board another one of your points which was smooth the blank down after every glue session - I was getting too impatient. Also I am wondering if it went like that because the bandsaw leaves a slightly ridged finish when I am cutting for the inlays...I wonder if it's because I didn't clamp after glueing - I just sprayed it with accelerator and moved on to the next cut!


I am much happier with the set up - the bandsaw table top goes up to 50 degs so I'll whack it up to that and see what happens next not thinking about a jig yet - I'm really not that clever, just abusing the bandsaw as much as I can really!
