Please do. Ill try my best to understand it. If not, Manhattan isnt that far from me.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It involves putting another board on top of the piece you want to cut, put that at an angle and fasten it down to your workpiece.

I'll try to mock up something and cut it for you and snap some pictures while cleaning the woodshop tonight.

Once you figure it out, it is relatively easy to do, doesn't take a whole lot of time and you dont have to screw around with a router or jigsaw.

Hmmm... Sounds interesting... I think i might be catching on to what your saying.

There is a pretty easy way to make angled cuts on a table saw without messing with a miter gague (and make them perfect). //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

tell me too

I left my camera cable at school so I'll have to get pics some other time, but the basic idea is you lay out your angle on the workpiece (what you want to cut). Find a scrap panel that has a straight edge on it, lay it out parallel to the line you want to cut, but have the scrap board wide enough that way you can run it along the fence as your straight edge. Voila you have your workpiece cut at whatever angle you ran your top board at.

There are different ways of attaching your two pieces together. I've always just nailed it (leave it long so there is a place to nail it to without leaving a hole), but I think that the 3M adhesive strips that are made to hang posters and not leave a mark would work excellent if you don't want to nail it.

That should be a good enough explanation for a competent wood butcher to follow. *If not, tell me what your confused on*

What kind or resistor would i need if i wanted to add 2 led's inside the box? I cant wait.....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

You can probably direct drive 3 LEDs in series given that they have a typical forward voltage of 3-4.5V.

Just kidding PV. Straight cut bit and router...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif

Just curious how this works? I'm not understanding how to use the router to cut it... if you don't mind a quick how-to explanation? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

As with everything I've watched you build, the box looks incredible. I saw one of your boxes in person recently and the craftsmanship was outstanding! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Maybe something like this would work well mounted out-of-sight inside the box would work.

that box sure does look niiiice. Carpet looks really good and the plexi finishes it off just right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That might look OK in that box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Hell yea!!

Chris, did you design the box?

lslugz gave me his idea of what he wanted, I just did the math to get it to the right size and made the plans for BJ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
