OK, OK, so it's just some pieces of wood that are dry clamped together in the rough shape of a chair, but I think that still counts! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906b0e2e58c6203097c3c4c/1493610727580/20160710_175753.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Gettin' Jiggy Wit It Here's the dado sled with jig insert.

There's lots of glue squeeze out to clean up, but the first runner turned out pretty good. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906ac44c534a5c0bcea2ef6/1493609546810/20160730_174219.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - A Tale of Two Runners After a quick dry run with the clamps, I was ready to add some glue for the real deal. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906ac6846c3c4287ee23cfe/1493609581046/20160730_175309.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - A Tale of Two Runners Here's the runner strips laid out prior to applying the glue with a glue roller.

The epoxy set up nicely, but I'm not 100% sold on the brown color. Since I'll be filling a knot hole, using brown just seems like it will look too fake. I think that if I fill it with black epoxy, it will make it look more like a natural knot hole, rather than a knot hole filled with brown putty. https://www.woodshopbuilt.com/blog/finished-but-only-just-beginning monthly 0.5 2017-04-30 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59064f491e5b6c2c2dfc4536/1493591914350/20161116_203847.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59064f0d29687f041cb23f44/1493591894632/20161112_185117.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59064f9d15d5db2857e34ba4/1493591921801/20161114_195044.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906529b6b8f5b608394eefe/1493591935564/DSCN0157.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906541a6a496365924c53d9/1493591985487/MG_7953.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/590652e3f7e0ab7589154048/1493591943215/DSCN0080.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59065322e58c62030977455a/1493591951620/DSCN0132.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/590653ec37c581913d2578fb/1493591974656/MG_7941.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59064edbdb29d6507830f1ac/1493591884132/20161112_180607.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59065261f5e2319ca139ac47/1493591929065/20161116_203943.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59065387e6f2e142b4aaa79d/1493591958819/MG_7922.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/59064e904402431ac49c428c/1493591661042/20161112_125125.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/590653be6b8f5b608394feb1/1493591965925/MG_7958.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Finished, but only just beginning… https://www.woodshopbuilt.com/blog/flush-trim-bit-failure monthly 0.5 2017-05-01 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906b94a17bffc3ea35abd22/1493612878891/20160620_205410.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Flush Trim Bit Failure Once I had the templates made, I found that i could trace the shape on the block, cut it out on the bandsaw, and sand it on the spindle sander in just a few minutes. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906b8de15d5db2857e8c59b/1493612774251/20160620_182843.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Flush Trim Bit Failure I traced the patterns onto some 1/4" masonite and but them out on the bandsaw. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5905745eff7c50866d946a3c/t/5906b92603596ed6c186979f/1493612845627/20160621_055701.jpg Woodshop Built Blog - Flush Trim Bit Failure Here's a picture of what a 2" flush trim bit does to soft pine.
