Today i had the biggest delivery of wood so far stacks of steamed beech for a kitchen project. I was going to jump straight in with the tools but a little bit of doubt has set in :?, as i am only off work this week I must get cracking tomorrow.
The big piece is 12 feet long 10 inches wide and nearly 2 inches thick its one hell os a slab of wood. I'm not exactly sure how my supplier has related this to my cutting list, but if its what i think it is my thicknesser will be making a lot of chips, such a waste .....note to self "good excuse to buy a re-saw "
Q1 The doors i am making are nothing fancy just a flat panel, beech veneer mdf in the center. ideally i would like use haunch tenons but i don't have a mortiser would a short tenon fitting into the grooves for the mdf be good enough?
Q2 I plan to cut the grooves on my router table would it be better to use a slot cutting bit stock held flat on the table or a straight cutting bit stock held against the fence?
all advice gratefully received.
