Today, I worked on the shelf side pieces. I used the band saw to take away some of the waste wood. Then I decided to use the router table to make the dados for the shelves. The process I used is not really recommended and I messed-up two of the four shelf sides. One of the good sides has several flaws in the wood but I'll have to work with it. Then, using forstner bits, I drilled holes to accept the router trimming bit. That all worked OK but I did get tear-out on one cut that was so bad it broke the template and a piece of the side. I've glued the template back together and will proceed again tomorrow. Not sure how I'm going to fix the tear-out. I never had this much trouble when I was making the grandfather clock. It's not like the clock was an easy project! Here is a slideshow from today. Enjoy!
