We have a Woodrat at the local woodies shed & i'm the first to fire it up. I'm getting the hang of this machine & enjoying the test results so far.
I'm on the hunt for plans of jigs for the woodrat anybody might have knocked up & had success with, or the plans for the origional jigs mentioned in the manual.
So far i've just been making test joints. My interest at pressent is box making so i was keen to try out making finger joints, dovetails & 1/2 blind dovetails. I think i've got them nailed down so this week i'm hoping to make a full box. It'll be out of Tas oak. I'm hoping to throw in some sort of blackwood moulding or trim if i can knock up some jigs. I'll post some pics as i go.
