Chisel, mallet, and board with a mortise in the center

Trying to do some warm up work before I dive into table building. I haven’t in the past, but I’ve heard it’s good practice to do so.

Pt 2. The compound miter saw is handy for doing outside corners that you can get the same thing by making a miter box out of scrap material.

No matter what you do, miters will find a way to open up and not to mention most walls are not perfectly 90° to one another. A coping saw is not only much cheaper, but will produce consistent cuts that don’t open up. Paul Sellers and Essential Craftsman both have good YouTube videos on use.

Can’t guarantee I’ll have the right answer, but might be able to help… what’s up? Pun intended.

In grad school, my cohort members always asked if you were a Leslie or an Ann... I'm proud to be a Ron. Despite what he says he espouses, he takes care of his people, works hard, and shows up day in and out. In a world of Jean-Ralphios and Jamms... do your part to make the world better.
