Where is the nearest optometrist??? Just kidding, believe or not I didn't notice the stops on the slot dado. Can you believe I have jacked around since noon yesterday trying to cut the slots on my radial arm saw and not end up with "Missing wood" on two pins. I almost am reluctant to post this reply.

Not to worry. I doubt there is a person on the forum that has not done something that makes one say "what was I thinking". I know I sure have, more than once.

I decided on a Tung Oil finish for the box. I put the first coat on yesterday and the wood really soaked it up. Another coat goes on today. I will see what it looks like after three coats. I am thinking at least four or five.

For future reference, when needing to alter speed to make equal cutting speed for different diameter cutters(saw blades or whatever) only the diameter need be included in the calculations.
i.e. 10" blade at 3450 rpm tooth velocity is obtained with an 8" blade by increasing the rpm by 10/8 = 4312.5 rpm.
All that other stuff(circumference/linear tooth speed etc.) cancels out since the relationship to the diameter is the same for all diameters.

Your camera is doing its job well, but lighting is everything. Decades ago, I took up photography as a hobby. After spending about a thousand mid-80's dollars on a good SLR and adequate lenses, I finally came to understand that lighting was the most important thing. Unfortunately, at that time, decent studio lighting would have cost me multiples of my camera/lens investment.
But if you have the luxuries of time and patience, you can almost always find natural lighting that will do the subject proud.

I totally agree. I did the same as you at the same time. I have a Cannon AE1 and an A1 with power winder and 5 or 6 lenses and everything else that goes with them. At that time the A1 was Cannon's top of the line camera body.

i like them better than the cr@p that came with my new one.
