I had to make a sloped cut in a large piece of wood, this 17 degree jig and the Festool TS75 worked perfectly for making the precise repetitive cut to hog out the slot. This is for making wingchun dummy arm holes on an angle. I’m batching them out so I needed an automated process.

MORSO miter cutting machine
I won this machine at an auction recently and cleaned it up to play with and then sell. Really great condition, not sure how old it is but the company is till in business and sells them. The wood in the video it’s cutting is 3/4″ poplar, pretty hard wood.
Shaper Origin with Bench Pilot – First use
First go at using the @shapertools #origin #benchpilot to make some replaceable drillpress table inserts. I designed the shape and it fit better than the original one.

Starbucks Bistro Table
I made a small coffee bistro table with the Starbucks logo. Skills practiced: Vector logo tonkering, Shaper Tools cnc, epoxy inlay, underbevel on the top to lighten the top heft. Maple top with some birdseye and quilting surprises. Sprayed with satin water-based polyurethane.

Table saw handle replacement.
I replaced a plastic table saw handle with something nicer to look at and with a larger grip.

New Woodturning Tool Rack
I made a new larger lathe woodturning tool holder rack for the wall as I’ve outgrown the old one. This one holds 24 tools and is a little nicer than my old one. Solid birch, 3 feet long.

Bowl #3
Butternut, I think. Texturized rim then painted with Speedball India ink. Finished with Shellawax which I won’t use anytime soon.
Tablesaw fence upgrade
I upgraded my General 350 tablesaw fence by removing the two side plywood/formica sides and putting on two aluminum extrusions. I wanted both sides done because sometimes I use the fence on the other side of the blade since it’s right tilting. Woodhaven is the brand. My fence didn’t come with slots like the Sawstop has so I had to get those side/bottom slots milled to accept the bolts and have access holes. Naturally I didn’t want to try this on my only fence so I got a used one to play with. Same exact one.

My first woodturning bowl
I turned my first bowl from a piece of well dried wood I picked up from an estate sale. Not sure what kind of wood it is, possibly cedar.
I think it turned out excellent for my first bowl.
Another tool holder
I made this wall mount that also lifts off the wall to be a stand for my kumiko cutting blocks for when I’m using them. It’s nice to have them seen and also out of the way.
