    Domino angled joint to flat face

    Sorry, I didn't read the q properly. This is a box rather than a frame, is it? Is that drawing a plan view? If it is, a domino is not really a suitable joint; lots of end grain, not much face-face grain. I think I'd be looking at mitres reinforced with splines. That's not trivial either! :)

    Domino angled joint to flat face

    That is tricky, I'll grant you. I think you are going to have to use the ENDS of the boards as your reference faces, rather than the faces of the boards. That is not easy as they are much thinner than the fence of the Domino is long. S

    making a riving knife question

    4mm plate sounds very thick to me. What sort of blade is it for?

    I'm after a table saw...

    I've used the Bosch, it's an excellent bit of kit.

    Reducing spiciness?

    The other thing you can try is just to cook it out, long and slow. Over a candle for a week. That will reduce the heat without messing about with the actual flavours.

    Office Furniture

    That's better than mine, then. I found a socket, into which I presumed I could break and installed all the power bar. When I came to break into the socket, I discovered that it was a spur from somewhere else. So the whole power bar is really just a big extension lead. Fortunately the power draw...

    Is that a power track along the wall behind your desk? If so that is a very good idea, it's what I have behind my desk and it saves lots of grovelling around. But decide how many sockets you think you need and then double it. Seriously, double it. I have ten along the wall plus one near the...

    Kitty 419 table saw riving knife

    You are quite right about what the RK is for and how it works. But when I say slightly less than the kerf, I mean slightly. A couple of thou. Just clearance. The RK is immediately behind the teeth, no more than 8mm away, and the RK itself is what, shall we say 40mm ish deep, so to catch the...

    Kitty 419 table saw riving knife

    I think that many of us wold disagree slightly with that last statement. The RK should be thicker than the plate of the blade, and slightly less than the kerf itself. Sp for a 1/8" kerf (which is 3.2mm), a 3mm RK is usually pretty close to perfect. The problems get trickier for thin-kerf...

    Table Finish?

    If you are looking for an oil finish, I'd try BLO on a piece of scrap. Personally I prefer the colour to DO. Just do a test on a spare board.

    Table Finish?

    I don't have any advice, finishing is not my forte, but I do like your table. I can really see it in a conservatory covered in houseplants* S *The table, that is, not the conservatory...

    Kitty 419 table saw riving knife

    20 weeks means it doesn't yet exist and is coming from China. You can do better. Look at your saw, what is the blade diameter? The inside radius needs to be 3 -mm bigger than that. The outside diameter is cosmetic. In addition, you need to find the screw holes. Make a mock-up out of cardboard...
