Doing Things Wrong

Mitre Box

image

I made this little mitre box. It goes in 5-degree steps from 0 to 45 degrees. I don't know if that will actually be useful, but it gives me something to play with. Although I made it with the saw shown, I would use it with a fret saw, which is narrower and runs in the slots nicely. The important thing is not that the angles are super accurate, but that they are repeatable. I think.

Not sure if I will ever use this for anything.

Except for very rare cases like my teak-bodied Osprey bass, oil-based polyurethane is my finish of choice for both necks and bodies. I generally use rattle-can poly for necks and small parts, simply because it is convenient. For bodies, I spray brush-on poly with a compressor.
