You have to leave gaps in case the wood swells from humidity. It looks fine to me.

That’s coming along fine. Gaps might be a prob in your cutting boards but are fine here and will never be noticed (except by you!)

Hey, Larry, that’s looking better & better…

Did you ever look at the Kerfmaker posts…. (for making perfect dados, etc.)

... but Hey… just fill those lil gaps with a lil putty mixed with sawdust… LOL

That’s really going to be a COOL piece!

Thank you.

Looks great Larry. Don’t worry about those minuscule gaps, no one will notice them and you will quickly forget they even exist. As for clamping, I would liken it to sobering up real fast after a fun party.

Coming along nicely

What gaps? I don’t even see ‘em with my glasses off! :-)

Thanks for sharing the human side of the master woodworker that you are! I’m pretty sure the next time you attempt a wooden grate it will be flawless and have purpleheart chevrons inlaid…

Looks good, Larry.

Don’t really notice the gaps and the overall appearance should keeps everyone else from noticing as well. Nice design.
