That makes no sense. For any program to 'get more buggy' would mean that it is self modifying and that simply doesn't happen. If it works then 'it works' If you have changed to Windows 10 and cannot turn off updates then there is a slim possibility that a Windows .dll file may not perform in...

That's not my experience. I still use the totally free V2014 on a daily basis - not as a commercial enterprise though - and it does everything I ask of it but I've used previous versions since at least 2008 probably before. My biggest project is a very detailed drawing of my property...

See post #31 I've only ever made 'End grain' boards and the few 'professional' boards that I've had given me - including one specifically designed for use with a Mezzaluna - have also been end-grain. The reason is quite obvious (to me).

I certainly don't 'butcher' a pig - or even half - but I do dice some beef/pork/lamb and trim the fat off bacon etc. but my (live in) grandson uses a cleaver for virtually everything he cuts up. We use two chopping boards daily and occasionally a 'dished' version - which is also end-grain - with...

From the appearance it seems that you don't use it as a 'chopping' board. :) The point really is that pressing a knife - or any sharp implement - through food into 'end grain' allows the wood fibers to recover whereas if you do the same to 'face grain' you will sever the fibers - assuming that...

Cutting boards should ALWAYS be end-grain !

That can't work since there is no 'standard' depth. :)

I believe that you have that the wrong way round. Last week I heard a very believable answer to the question " why do men have nipples?" -- it seems that all Zygotes are female and by the time the Y chromosome takes control the nipples have already been created. :oops:

The OP stated " ...and may well be thrown out once the cheese is consumed. " That alone should indicate that the cost of the board should be 'sensible' compared to the cost of the cheese and I doubt that you could get £30 worth of cheese on a 250 x 400 board (unless it is Pule Donkey cheese !)...

At those sort of prices (£30 for a 300 x 400 x 3) it can hardly be considered 'disposable' surely ?

Yes of course being more accurate (in both marking out and cutting) would be beneficial but there may be other factors which you haven't intimated at. Marking only one of the side panels out and machining both together is the most obvious but always working from a common datum is probably most...

Ditto ! ... and I did say that there were 'Limits' specified (football pitch)

For practical reasons it has long been my opinion.

No apology needed - incorrect - even poor - information should be pointed out whenever it is noticed 😆 How many readers have been enlightened by the knowledge you've brought to the fore? To be clear, I can't abide football - the next match I go to will be the first (I'll be 80 in December)

@gmercer_48083 is looking for a file to START the work and I read your suggestion in that light. Of course it would be possible to use good quality 'Emery' - 'Wet & Dry' - 'Abranet' to fine-tune/finish off the shape but not as a prime tool for the major metal removal.

Sorry - I thought that would be obvious :( -- The fact that there is no STANDARD size for an FA playing area. There are limits but not a specified size, so the comparison is meaningless.

I scream that at the TV or Radio every time it's used - makes my blood boil !

I doubt that you'd make much of an impression on O1 Tool Steel with 'sand paper'! :eek: Even 60/80grit Wet & Dry would be worn through after no more than a few strokes.

Ah... apologies, I hadn't noticed your location :) The taper on the leading edge won't be a problem. I'm sure it will do the job in hand but will probably take longer since it is a 'Smooth Cut' which would normally be used to finish a job where a Second Cut or even a B_astard Cut (the underline...
