Here is a picture of the base front as it will appear. Still need to trim 3/4 of an inch from the width when I make the bevel [miter] cuts to the sides. The width is to be 15 inches. Also need to trim the board ends which are currently 3 inches too long on each end. I'll need to do that on a miter saw as it won't fit on the table saw. Before I make the bevel cuts, I will make cuts to each board to accommodate the biscuits. Then I need to glue-up and clamp the 3 pieces. Not looking forward to that as I've learned I only have 5 minutes max. Only then will I bevel the sides as I will need to apply clamp pressure during the glue-up and need a flat surface. I will test the entire biscuit/glue-up process on 3 pieces of pine hopefully tomorrow. Click to enlarge. Enjoy!
