Woodpeckers isn't alone.

I'd note that if one will observe the shops of the truly talented, as a rule the number of specialized tools is tremendously expanded over that of the even practiced weekender. OTOH, the amateur is far more likely to have gathered many more power gadgets in lieu of a myriad of hand planes, specialized chisels and handsaws, etc., etc., etc., ... I don't recall the particular individual now, but one of the recognized professionals had tour of shop published in FWW a number of years ago. His collection of hand planes that he actively used routinely was about 150--they were stored in a cubby-hole arrangement along one wall of the shop by size and shape of sole as he used. He had a number that were of extreme vintage plus those purchased as well as many that he had made for himself. |

Wait a few weeks and you may find them at the Dollar store. Prolly there, now, but fer a mere $3. I bought one of Lee Valley's BPA-free 16oz mugs. Almost $14 w/ cap. When I first dragged my new drinking vessel to a local BYOB gathering, I was shocked to see at least 3-4 others drinking outta 22oz-36oz mugs that looked exactly like my Tervis drinking vessel (exact same cap). When I asked each person how much they paid for these obiously-larger-than-mine vessels, no one answered any price over $5. Boy, was I PO'd. Maybe they weren't BPA-free. ???? When I later got home, I discovered I had already bought a BPA-free 16oz mug fer me late mum. Marketed under the name Alladin, it was made to look like a Mason jar, was double insultated (like a Tervis), had a screw-on cap, and a built-in --yet removable-- straw. $10 at Walmart. (sigh) I'll learn. nb |

The quality of the bend will depend greatly on the flexibility and thickness of the outer veneer. With cabinet grade plywoods the thickness of the outer veneer is pretty thin. And $375.00 I can see it in a high production or factory application but for the typical Rockler customer..... I don't know. |

Seems way too complicated to cut a 45. ;~) But it's cheaper than a Domino. ;-) It cannot do what a domino can, it basically enables you to cut and bend a 45. The quality of the bend will depend greatly on the flexibility and thickness of the outer veneer. With cabinet grade plywoods the thickness of the outer veneer is pretty thin. And $375.00 I can see it in a high production or factory application but for the typical Rockler customer..... I don't know. I think there is a market, just really small. It's a nice design, well thought out, but pricey. And for most of us, a huge luxury that's not needed. If we were doing many boxes with wrap around look it could pay. As far as thickness, that's up to you , you want to drive the point down to just a few thousandths from going through. I do see this for small shops, that maybe do a run of wine boxes for a company, or decorative boxes for whatever. -- Jeff --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Andrew seems like a nice guy and I give him an A+ for effort at finding solutions in need of a problem, but with each iteration of his invention(s) the old adage "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bull****" comes to mind.
