The Beast continues to get Christmas early. It's been a busy couple of days in the shop but, I managed to squeeze in some time on this. It is designed to fit on the never-used fireplace hearth to try to take advantage of that wasted space . . . I'm in SoCal and we don't use fireplaces as anything but, decoration till you get a couple thousand feet up out of the basin. It will tuck back into the firebox opening just a couple inches until it bumps into the glass-doored 'screen'.

This is a case where the planer sled comes in handy as the 8" jointer is insufficient. Sorry, the forum sometimes ignores the rotation data on the pics.

I want to get two sides out of a particular piece so I nest them and rough-cut them with the jigsaw.
