I got some quality shop time in today and got to use some new toys and learn some new skills.
My project is two simple drawer boxes to use with the repurposed sink base from my old kitchen cabinets.
Firsts for me today....
1. A stack dado on my bt3000. Other than putting it on the arbor wrong things went well. I put them on with the outsides in. Instead of a 1/4" groove, I got a 3/8" groove. I figured it out and made the corrections.
2. Using the incra gauge. I saw this tool somewhere and thought it would be a good thing to own. Thing is very accurate and improves setup over anything I've ever used. Certainly beats the tape measure.
3. Micro jig push blocks. I saw these online somewhere and thought they would be useful. I was pleased with these as well.
So I got to cut dados and tennons and stuff.
I hadn't used my bt3000 much in a while and it was nice to make some sawdust again.
