Wood working at another level

This is my way of getting out of my comfort zone of tables and cabinets. Every thing is going well so far. I’m using some Douglas fir left over from my last timber framing project before I use good hard wood. My biggest problem is figuring out what the “arm pad adder is for and where it goes. Multiple viewings of your videos have not clarified their location or function.

Loved the product but I have some suggestions. It would be most useful if all the dimensions of the drawings were labeled-some were omitted. Second, printing the digital plans can be difficult and/oe expensive m, depending on what access the purchaser has. An easy solution would be for the digital purchase to also include pdfs of the tiles figure so that a simple home printer could be used. Then it would only require the pieces to be taped together. I suspect this would benefit more people than expected.

The plans are complete

I only got the plans a few weeks ago. All parts are cut - just fine tuning and fitting at this point. I would suggest that these plans are not for beginners without a detailed video to accompany... I have not been able to find the video.

I will be creating a full build video this spring (-: 2025. Thank you for your support. Please email me with any questions regarding the build process. Please watch this build video to help understamd most of the techniques.

I sent you a previous reply. Drawing is comprehensive. Combining your videos with the templates fills I a lot of gaps. I already made one sequence error that I can correct with some fixturing. I made a sample Maloof Joint and it came out perfectly. Please advise as to your recommended sanding sequence and what do you use as your final finish. Currently planning to use a high quality spray lacquer. Look forward to your reply.

I do all the shaping with a Kutzall carbide orange / gray flat wheel and then clean up transtions using a die grinder with Kutzall bull nose bit. I then move to a RO150 from Festool with 120/150 grit in dual action mode, erase all shaping marks and don't have any lumps and bumps before moving to a super soft pad with 220 in oscillate and keep going through 320 to 400. The add an interface pad with 400 and up to 500 foam pad type sanding paper from Festool or Mirka.
