Yes Mike, this is a project where I would think an accurate scale and precise measurements are mandatory. Not to disagree with Paul, but different strokes for different objectives.

P.S. I vote for au naturel (sp?).

You have done a fantastic job.

I know how much effort you have invested because I built one and I am not proud enough of it to take pictures. When finished, it looks simple. It is not. I would challenge anyone who does not in the value of precision wood working to take this on.

It is also a good exercise in laminating and joining pieces.

Align your drill press and table before you start.

Enjoy

Outstanding!

By the way, I don't see many Asian stand-alone tools generating this type of "homage."
