I've only got one of the two pieces completed so far and I will need to blow my shop out with compressed air afterwards as a super fine dust has settled everywhere.<br /><br />On the other hand, I use my planes a lot for fine work, and they will be involved in the finishing of the surfaces of this table. I guess each of us makes the machine/hand work tradeoff differently.Dan McC.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02634565056936864787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190259912870435659.post-55077791419204043492010-12-02T21:01:26.091-08:002010-12-02T21:01:26.091-08:00Great looking wood as usual...

That's what I use, it takes some time but probably not much more that the router set up... By the time you get all the rigging up and runing and all the dust managmant and the noise... I'll keep using my hand planes!!<br />CheersDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017066552183432883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190259912870435659.post-67828576758569169112010-12-02T05:25:33.036-08:002010-12-02T05:25:33.036-08:00Yes, cool looking alder.
