Matrix, you have my compliments, and you have more expertise and patience than me.
I saw you listed the Triton workcentre, what or how did you cut the box mitres?woody U.K.

Zen, yes all sanding was done by hand, up to 400grit.
All ripping of timber was done on the triton. To cut the mitres, I used my GMC 250mm SCMS( a pretty average machine, but good results can be had with light feather cut's and some masking tape to eliminate any chipping or splintering) Originally Posted by jow104
