    I'm surprised at the miter clamp recommendations. Those things have proved useless in my experience. The force applied is not in the direction needed. And what do you do if you have a miter other...

    i would look at a LN/LV low angle jack or jointer instead of the dedicated shooting plane. it...

    +1 for sonos, although I don't yet have one dedicated to the garage. Any problems in having a Play unit in an unconditioned and dusty space? Maybe this is better handled with a connect amp?

    I think a router plane would take forever on end grain like that. I would try to saw the 2 angled walls, then chop out the middle flat.

    I think Peter's point is that it is very unlikely to cut a spline within a spline as described, perfectly centered and at the perfect depth, to have a consistent contrasting band around each spline....

    can't tell if that is a level bottom or if it slopes up to the bench top.

    I have started to freehand more despite owning a veritas mkII jig in an effort to simplify. I know my blades are sharp when I can shave my face with one while using the other as a mirror.

    I've chopped 1/2" mortises with a mortise chisel. It's not very fun. I'd much rather drill and pare for anything that big. Or maybe I just don't have a big enough mallet.
