Rob,
I really like the earring case. May try one to give as a gift. I guess actually I'll see how well the one I make turns out to determine if it becomes a gift or hides on the back shelf.:o

However, what has me REALLY curious is the background. The blade looks bigger than 10" considering how high it is sticking out of the Miter Express and then the four foot level behind.:confused: . May I ask what you were doing with that configuration?:eek: :p

Be well,
Ben

Just a 10" blade....must be the angle. The level was there to help me level the infeed floater with the Mark V worktable in drill press mode. I was drilling another cribbage board for my sister using an incra positioner as in the following picture.

In fact this worked so slick, this time I drilled the floater so I could use bolts to hold the positioner instead of the clamps.

That is a slick set up!! :cool: I have a friend making the extension tube holders (couldn't find them on the SS site and a friend has pieces of aluminum plate too small for his project but just right for the holders)

I have to admit when I think of making a cribbage board I think of cheating and buying the plastic drilling templates :o

Thanks for the photo. It has given me another idea!

Be well,
Ben
