That would get really frustrating to work with such insane regulations. It is already challenging enough to make a good income in this industry/ line of work without such strange rules. It is possible to cut a lot of the work off site with careful planning and cut lists but I think it is more efficient to be on site for most types of work besides cabinetry and countertops.

Looking good, Aaron. Are you doing specific joiner at the corners or a traditional miter with spline or dowels?

That Erika should make quick work of those miters.

Yeah I still might just give a try on scraps as they are not true 45's. Will try and shoot a vid

Here is some progress pics of the the mirror. I now have the waney edge removed and sanded smoothed them off to give them the rustic natural look. I then marked out a template on the floor an and a sheet of hardboard, which is the same size as the mirror. I do plan to eventually get around to making the bench. It will certainly make certain tasks easier. The bottom and tops are both widish, where the sides are narrowish. So not just a simple 45. The Erika made the challenge of the mitres that much easier to produce than could be done on a standard chopsaw. It could be done I suppose just not as easily. I have done a vid of the last joint and how I adjust the fence on the erika to produce the odd mitres. I then used the dd40 to strengthen the mitres. Next thing to do is work the waney edges into the other edge at the corners. Which with a bit of planing freehand before gluing up should get them about there and looking really good and flowing. I will then make the rebates for the mirror and make a vid of it |

Here is the vid of how the erika is set up to produce the odd mitres for the mirror. Some of the camera work needs work on. Though people should get the general idea of how to set the fence to the mitres very simply. It's times like this the Erika shows its value. All I need to do now is marry the waney edges into each other at the corners

I quiet pleased with how it's coming along. Just to run the sander over and get it ready for the finishing. The plan is to put a sealer on. Forgotten the exact name. The guy at the paint shop knows the one that's best. All being good will be ready for someone's Christmas present. Not bad for a couple of bits of scabby wood to start with
