ONCE UPON A TIME...
I was visiting my girlfriend in her store and she introduced me to this lady who was interested in some long tray for her house. Of course I stepped in and said I'd be interested in making something she might like.. so, I went to my dad's shop and played around with some of his old scraps of wood. I picked out a couple different types of wood, machined them down to about the same size and thickness and then Laminated them together. Once dry, Dad helped me set up the tablesaw with a diagonal fence so that I could mill a cove on the tablesaw. I fed the laminated board through very very very slowly... and raised the saw 1/8 an inch each pass.
be careful when trying this. then I just played around with some sanders and got it pretty smooth.
so.. anyway, back to the lady.. she took it home, and it didn't work with her interior.
so I got to keep it!
you tell me what the moral of that story is...
