Leo developed the plan for an improved version of the boring jig for the lathe.
It is hard to explain in words so check the photos for some appreciation of how it is made.
Leo showed how to use the drill press to make an arc shaped groove into a piece of wood, using a brad point bit to cut a series of holes along the arc and the Forstner bit to clean up the holes and finally using an end mill bit to further improve the result.
Leo discussed how to sneak up on cuts on the table saw..eg for cutting a dado and an end tenon.
Leo revisited the jig for turning a thickness planer into a jointer....see the March 24/09 minutes for a comment about this.
Leo cut each of us a piece of birch to get started on the jig.
Jim Hiltz spoiled Paul's piece by burning the end on the saw and refused to exchange his "good" piece for the one he assigned to Paul. He certainly was a bad sport tonight.
