… in the GW Bush sense of the term. 🙂
All kidding aside, I made it through board #4 today, so all the major cuts are done at this point. A lot of the pieces need cleanup (maybe even recut). And of course I need to build the table, more on that in the next post.
This cut went very cleanly. I swapped endmills before the final cutout, since the first endmill (which had done all of board 3 and all the drills and pockets of board 4) was starting to worry me.
This board was the one that went all the way to 38″; the rightmost edges were actually hanging off the end of the table. The pieces were also all very close to each other. Unlike the other boards, this one just has a big hole in the middle of it.
With a complete pile of parts (at least at some level), I spent some time sanding everything. I need to start putting everything together to see how much stuff needs to be recut. I also need to do all of the edge drills, but my understanding is that an edge drilling jig is provided, so I need to figure out what that’s about and then get started on that.
Then I need to build the table. But I’ll explain that in its own post.
