Post: RE: Anyone ever built a backgammon set??

I started one a few years back.  Got the playing surface done and then life got in the way and didn't get the box done.  I glued up the quarter panels and then resawed them. https://i.imgur.com/DF696...

Post: RE: Miter Sled - Features Important to You?

I have the Incra miter express and love everything about it.  It is small and easy to store.  I have all the accuracy and convivences the Incra 1000HD miter gauge has to offer.

Post: RE: Trex decking for cutting board?

I wouldn't use it because I think it won't stand up well to a knife and will look bad in short order.  I also don't like the exposed ends.  Try a small piece out for yourself before you comit.
