I’m hoping for a nice ‘pop’.

ive gone for two layers of black per one layer of blue at the moment so it should be fairly dark. The blue and red are quite rich then combo it in with the tapered tang so it should show the layers well.

If you’re giving it a go, just stack it up until you feel they’re thick enough and then a bit more to allow for wastage from rough surface. I might go a bit thicker on this because of the tapered tang. I’m actually going to end up losing most of the front that’s glued up because of shaping but it’s simpler to not do short layers.

I’ve finally solved getting a clean angled bolster joint ( I hope!)

Wanting to join these nicely with an angle:

So I acquired this adjustable machinist ‘thing’ a while back. Not sure of the proper name but rotates so smoothly and reassuringly heavy.

With that one item, it becomes so easy to match angles.

Set it this way round for one end:

and then the opposite way for the other:

Perfect!

No matter what the angle of the table, each end will match as long as it doesn’t move between.

Fantastic thread Stew!

Great work, just spent the last hour and a half reading my way through.

Looking forward to seeing more,
