Thanks Rob- (sorry I've not replied sooner after you spent time to reply excuses(!) work has been stupid and I've not been on here since you have posted) this is really useful, I'd wondered about the substrate - the box really does look good :)
little boxes can be so much more difficult than larger pieces as the tolerances decrease with the size; the hinge is really nice touch :) - any chance of 'a lessons learnt' with the veneers?
Chainsaws on this page, meanwhile on another page people arguing about 0.5 of a degree for sharpening a chisel! Lovely work Scotty that thicknessing looked like a hard work at the office day - thanks for the update
The standard blade is pretty good, might be worth trying before you spend more - in the grand scheme of things if you do want another blade after paying the amount the saw has cost the difference between third party cheaper blades isn't really that great and quality cotrol on the festool blades...
Fabulous stuff and a lucky client to have everything made in one place, the quality control you have over the whole project is great to see, thankyou for posting :)
