      What kinda router bit do suppose you would use for that. Of course, it's obviously a craftsman router...


      PS - prior to receiving responses to the above, I know. and...holy crap. Up until just now, I was really proud if my dovetails didn't have to be glued...

          I don't have a comment on the dovetails so much, but, HOLY CR@P, I thought my hard-drive was exploding when that music started up!

              Typical Japanese attention to detail.

              Beautiful work.

              Glad they weren't that thorough when they decided to bomb Pearl Harbor!

                It's the Zen. You must be infinitely calm and patient to work something like that.

                The 'trick joint' intrigues me. I think I have a rough idea how that one is made, but I'd need to draw it to better visualize it....

                Surprisingly enough, best power tool for this would probably be the dentist's rig.

                  Sure beats the trial and error joints I'm going thru trying to make some of my first dovetail joints. Those are really something to look at.
