Puhfect Miters!
Miters for a frame or box can easily be cut with a well tuned chop saw. Make those miters even better or perfect...(puh-fect 😆) with a shooting board and shooting plane!

Would love to see how you made the miters on the box itself with taller stock. Always a great video!

I believe that was in the actual box build video. Same process, chop saw, shooting plane. If the sides are taller than what the chop saw can cut, a table saw is a fantastic option. Thanks a lot ! An Urn for Chris kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2mZmpuTm7vWeps.html

Great to hear! Yeah…that trick is one of my favs! Thank you
Ramon, beautiful work....as always. Lots of channels and people to watch in youtube land...almost all of them only "technical". Your videos are so much more holistic due to you passion and artistry. And definitely please do a description of your shooting board. I just bought the veritas shooting plane but have 5 or 6 different shooting board designs saved and can't decide.

Thank you tons for the good words! I am doing a video soon on the shooting board. It’s a fantastic design! Much thanks.
Awesome. I've adopted a lot of your tips & tricks (thank you) but this one I've been doing for a while. My only difference is, I chop just at the start of the line and shoot the rest. But hey, I steal any excuse to use a shooting board lol. I think a lot of woodworker overlook the science of end-grain, focus on the cut and never analysed the finish of it. Logical: chopped, reverse ends aren't going to make a clean fit. Extending your domino tip. I make my own doms too, grooved for glue egress. Similarly, I run a triangle file into my bulky tenons too. Years ago I pondered... My mort & ten is tight on a dry fit, but a mm out on my glue fit. Ahaaa, the damn glue is creating a vacuum. Grooved my tenon and what came out? Huh, more glue than before. Tight fit 👍🏼. One more... Your "strong drawers" (yes, they're very strong haha). I love the lock mitre joint and that's how I build my drawers - with 1-3 dominos in each end. My workshop bench chests all have a slim top drawer = 1 centered domino. Deeper drawers, 2-3 yes. Cheers Ramon

Hey David! Thanks for watching the vid! And the positive feedback
Hi Ramon - nice tips. I have also found that after making the cut on the miter saw, letting the blade stop before coming back up helps prevent any additional tooth drag marks on the miter. I suspect this is caused by a slight difference in deflection of the blade when cutting versus not cutting. Wood species is also a factor with this. Take care. Steve

Hello Steve! That’s interesting and I’ve experimented with that myself. I find it minuscule but it does make sense. Usually I will pull the piece being cut back out of the way. Or as you mentioned, let the blade stop. Great point.
Ramon, that’s a beautiful urn-the family must be so pleased by your care and craftsmanship. I appreciate your videos and always pick up new insights. Thank you brother!

Hey…thanks for letting me know! More to come.
Ramon is really awesome. Nice tips as always. And the result is always excellent. I am curious, though, why you used the Origin for the cross and not the letters. Of course, you have to be ABLE to do the marquetry which is beyond me. Maybe if it wasn’t beyond me that wouldn’t be a question. Anyway, nice vid as always.

Good question! I simply wanted to mix CNC technology (cross), hand cut marquetry (letters) and the laser engraved fisherman in one project. All three were aspects that the client asked for. Thank you for watching!
Funny….. most people want to bury my woodworking projects.⚰️….just kidding…..nice work.

Another tip filled video, Ramon. Great work!! I don't normally cut my miters at my chop saw but with your information, I will give it a try the next time. I typically run the profile on my spindle moulder before I cut the miters and this often requires me to swing the miter saw to the opposite 45 stop but that should work just fine as long as both stops are accurate. I like the use of the paint brush as well 🙂Thanks Ramon.
