Hot Damn! That’s a stunner. I haven’t worked with Zircote, but it’s on my list now (and I’m going to have to get a ATBR blade for my TS – sharp key slots!)

Arnold, those are slotted kerf hinges, available from Rockler and Woodcraft.

This is beautiful! Makes me want to get up and got to work!

fantastic. the lightning bold looks deliberately placed, but sufficiently random enough to look natural. just fantastic. hard one to let go of I’d reckon.
