 Ben’s All Time Favorite Technique of All Time… for this week

 

Here my fix for my massive snafu last night. I used titebond 3 because it’s a little runnier than other glues. Sucked it through with a shop vac. You can tell the coverage I got because of the squeeze out on the opposite side. This was all a consequence of not having my template longer than my piece and not using a starting pin or really anchoring my piece as I entered the bit. The piece shot back and the end grain hit the spinning bit. Also, the piece somehow ended up on the opposite side of the bit and took a nick out of that side too. That folks is why you keep your hands away from the danger zone at all times! #smoothmove
