20121104 Finishing the Dominoes

Remember the Anniversary dominoes I made? Well they needed a box.


And a lid:



Too cute, right? I love making sawdust. (Incidentally, that's lid #2. #1 taught me a lesson about eyeballing the centerline of a router bit when flipping pieces and routing "equal" distances on both sides--the pips lined up like I'd been into the 15 yr old scotch all day. It also taught me that if you slip when lowering a small wood piece onto a metal bit going 25,000 RPM driven by a 1/2 HP motor, there is nothing but an act of God to keep you safe. I still have my fingers. And my spleen. But I had to change my pants. Just sayin')
