I am going to start making Norms miter bench here shortly. The biggest challenge for me are the cuts for the cleats on the panels. There are 4 cleats per panels with 8 panels (I think) for a total of 32 cuts outs for cleats. Now for the challenge, I can not freehand straight line cut to save my life. I tried using a straight edge with my crappy jig saw and it didn’t come out so well. I have been putting some thought into this for a couple of weeks and of yet to come up with something that is both accurate and quick. The cutouts are 3/4” x 4” (24 of the 32) 3/4” x 2 1/2” (8 of the 32) Thoughts I have had: Bandsaw the cleat cutouts – sides are on the medium size and would have some control issues. I would be very thankful for any ideas that can make this part of the project quick, accurate, and painless. -- //FC - Round Rock, TX - "Experience is what you get just after you need it" |
