javacody Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 gf, can you draw up some plans for your mitre box? Instructions? How long did this take to saw by hand? How did it come out? How much sanding, planing, etc had to be done afterwords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
