i mat have forgotte something but this is close enough

I started looking for some of the tools I don't have and thought this might help others:

I couldn't easily find a 2 1/2" flush trim bit but a 2" with the bearing on top is easy to find and should be long enough

the 1/4 cove bit I think is actually called a "core box" it has no bearing

Lee Valley has the punch set they call it the "spiral punch set" at $28 and they also sell the trammel that should work called the "yardstick compass set" at $9

The gouges I found at Woodcraft they are straight sweep gouges with a #5 sweep and are 8, 12, 16 and 20 mm at $25 a pop (they are the Pfeil swiss made ones)

The dremmel you can get at Lowes but I'm not sure it has a fence.

I'm getting ready to go.

The gouges I got at

Nice work Brian.......another option we have for the #5 sweep is Woodcarvers Supply....Master Carver $19.95. I'm only looking at cost here, I do not own this brand, and since we're going to punch through veneer should be fine.

Contacted Berkshire Veneer, Ben is out of loop, e-mailed T-Mac and he'll no doubt get Ben in the loop.

Chuck, Dave,Justin,Eli, anybody...I'm not sure what we are looking for on the dremel tool. Can somebody post a link or a picture so I have an idea of the dremel package that we need.

Neil,

Don't presently own a dremel tool let alone know the tooling for the tool. Noticed they sell the units at the big box stores and Meijer and Walmart. However, I do not have a clue which model or package is the best.


Anyone in the Midwest with a DSI, Inc in their area can get 8/4 Honduras Mahogany for $10.33/ bd. ft.

i just bought the 300 series...but you will need the router base ...sold sep...sorry...i had too... but the plunge one...i didnt want too....but whatever...this tool is only to remove the material for the stringing and veneer squares....if you want to do it by hand..thats cool too....just takes a long time....

Not a problem, a will borrow WalnutBeagle's Dremel.

I found some other info on the dremel attachment. They make a base and edge guide (attachment 335) CPO tools sells it for $25, Lowes $30 and Lee Valley for $35. If you want to spend a lot of $ Stewart McDonald makes a base for $52 and edge guide for $33. I think I'm going for the cheaper one.
Brian

Is the Dremel attachment 335 base removeable. The Steward MacDonald base is removeable. In Fine Woodworking issue 180 pg. Steve Latta makes a shopmade concave base to match an apron on a federal card table. For an extra $22.00, you get some versatility. Plus it is made from machined metal parts. The Dremel 335 base appears to be a lot of plastic. (I would think it would last longer and operate smoother). Only my opinion.

Chuck

guys....i am going to show you how to make a scratch stock so its not totally nessary to have this thing....it will only help removing some wood.....i just screwed up one of the legs...so i am gonna play it safe on the next one with the scratch stock....i am B.S

Is this what we are looking for? This is off Dremels website. http://www.dremel.com/en-us/attachments-and-accessories/attachment-accessory-detail.htm?H=188575&G=69679&I=69793
