    Table plans

    I'd already gone to bed before you posted Bill. I should have done that but my brain was a bit foggy from a head cold. I did get a message however and just replied to it.

    3D Illusion PNG Files

    Yes. The gray scale image is used as a height map. The gray value of each pixel is translated into a different height. You ought to be able to do that with most any image.

    3D Illusion PNG Files

    I recently won a Creality 40W laser and all this is new to me. What sort of file do you need? Does a simple heightmap (gray scale image) work or do you need a mesh generated from the heightmap? I was just doodling while waiting for my lunch to cook and made a mesh from one of the images Echd...

    Let’s Talk Dovetail Jigs - Follow-Up

    Like Charlie, I'm not a fan of the comb-type dovetail jigs. I don't like the zipper tooth look or the issues associated with the fixed spacing. I'm also not a fan of carbide dovetail cutters. They result in what look like obese pins to me. There are HSS dovetail cutters that result in thinner...

    mitre angles

    Turning Dutch Foot Legs

    Very nice work. I did a tutorial some years ago on making a digital version of legs like this. It is an interesting exercise in thinking about multiple axis turnings.

    Joinery choices: bolted stub tenon or through wedged tenon

    Good catch. FWIW I also came up with 65+ lbs for the elliptical top and included that in my post. ;)

    Joinery choices: bolted stub tenon or through wedged tenon

    It does kind of make me wonder what else it might get wrong.
