Lets see, its been awhile
sense i posted. just like everyone

I'm getting back in the groove.
I have an order for 300 Pam Blocks which should be

the blocks are simply 2-7/8 square with a 7/8" flat hole in the center. i am using a 1/4"
round over bit to smooth out the inside edge, a 1/4" beading bit to put a little profile on the outside edge and am using a flush trim bit to shape the hearts to a template after trimming on the band saw.... can you believe that
Menard's doesn't carry a decent
flush trim bit? i can find a pair of socks but not a router bit? perhaps they moved the bits i want over to the paint department?
i need a new store.....
anyway ill post pics when i have a few
