Thanks Jalvis and Scot for the positive feedback. I'll post the other pics now that it is even more cut up and routed. The only slight imperfections in the cut are from bad planning on my part so I had to back the saw up a fraction to start the cut again after moving the stock around.

Here are a couple more pictures after cutting some more and routing at the seams. The second close up has a clamp attached just outside the picture area to show how tight it fits together when clamped. I plan to either wire brush the grain or sand to make it flow together. I will miter the front to make it look thick with the MT55 when I get that far. It's for my own house so I don't work on it much.

Very, very nice, 7. That is going to look really great when you are all done. Jory Brigham did a similar technique on one of his bed designs: jorybrigham.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/20130222-114234.jpgThere is a Vimeo video of it somewhere that shows the entire build that is fund to watch -- in fast time.

Looks really good. I like it a lot. It looks like what I call a conversation starter piece when someone comes round to the house. Also shows stupidly good the p1cc is.

That bed is an interesting style- almost modern and rustic at the same time. That's a cool fat single dovetail joint at the foot of the bed. He seemed to be able to put blonde sapwood at the seam of most of the joints on the headboard. I wonder if that was on purpose or if the sapwood was just mostly at the edges. I watched the video of Jory's build you referred to. It looks like he first ran the pieces through a band saw then clamped over and over a ran a festool jigsaw between the seams. Don't tell him about the P1CC, I don't want to lose my competitive edge.

Considering Jory Brigham is in the Adds for Festool its probably unlikely he will switch to Mafell. Although my thoughts are he has never used Mafell and thats why he's in the adds.

Free or paid. Either is a convincing motivator.

I feel like a Mafell salesman sometimes because I get so stoked on their products at times. I still can't really comprehend how the P1CC works so well. I had a funny conversations with a friend two days ago who makes furniture. He was asking how I made the cuts in the walnut. I told him a jigsaw and he asked how I kept the blade straight. I said it was a high end jigsaw that is unreal. He said "yeah but how do you keep the blade from flexing. That has nothing to do with the jigsaw does it, those skinny blades just flex" I told him it really makes little sense to me too and told him about the fact that the p1cc has not roller guide or blade clamping etc. It is quite strange really.

That's the good thing with this forum no people connected to mafell or any other tool company

Ya we're not trying to sell anything, just give user feedback on things that have little documentation or discussion on. There is no problems here if you have a preference for one thing over another, if your needs don't match the cost or functionality of a particular tool

Just yesterday at work I had to make very quick plinth for a shower tray to sit on 75mm high. The tray was half round and the guy wanted the plinth to be a little bit back from the shower tray edges to allow for the tiles to follow the shape. The guy I work for and the customer who was an architect where wondering how I could get a 3x2 frame follow around shape of the tray. I just kept confidently quiet there was no point in saying I'll use the jigsaw. They would just look at me like I was nuts and it can't be done. With the boss away and at the end of the job I made the plinth and doubled up the noggings then with the outside one marked the shape and then cut the shape with the p1cc using just a bosch blade. Then when I was leaving the job I showed the customer the plinth and showed him that I had managed to get it the same shape as the tray and told him I had used the jigsaw to make the cuts and was thinking how did he do that. It still amazes me as well

Would I sound like a douche if I said the P1cc is the only real jigsaw on the market?

It looks like a jigsaw but doesn't perform like a jigsaw should so it can't be a jigsaw it's a secret bandsaw in a jigsaw
