And, somehow, managed to chip the drawer face above and to the right of the pull. Not cool. This a nice miter station. I've had a few miter stations over the years and I hate to break it to you, but that chip is the least of your worries. You might want to just take a hammer to it now and get past any future emotional anguish caused by dings. LOL. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get this door finished and put on and accidentally drive through the shop with my car and destroy the miter station completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Awe don't even joke about taht. It'd be tragic to ruin that awesome miter station with a car.... Though don't you drive a prius and didn't those cars have problems with the accelerator sticking Walnut is pretty hard it should handle the knocks and bangs of a shop just fine. If anything embrace the character that the wear adds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I wasn't going for furniture level on this, there are plenty of flaws already, ad I'm good with it. Just the top itself, I had to hand plane the trim down and it tore out everywhere. And when I attempted to sand it it scuffed the hell out of the hardboard top. So I left it looking chewed up and counted it as a learning opportunity to never cut my trim oversize by 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cliff Posted June 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 This puppy is done! Lots of mistakes but I'm happier with this than anything else I've ever made. For me it was a skill building project and it succeeded in that respect. You can really see the trim tearout and sanding scuffing from trying to fix it up here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 that's a great piece Cliff, well done sir! i wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't mentioned the scuffing and tear out, if anyone mentioned it i would show them the door and tell them to make one as nice, and I'm betting they couldn't do it on their best day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still in the phase when I am compelled to show the flaws in my work. Trying to get past it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highlight flaws if i show a way to solve the problem. Between us on here is different than the non-woodworking types. I don't talk about flaws with them any more. I got sick of getting that blank stare and the comment "This is far better than i could have ever done". Boy golly that door panel is purdy!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I do believe that the maker of a piece is always going to find some flaws in his or her own work. I'm honest with myself about these flaws.... But I'm not doing everybody else's work for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
