Thought I'd take a step up from the styrofoam one I made...
I've done some of my Feds on this......seems to do the job well

Yeah mate - nice set there. Love the middle one. Which of those were done on your block - the one of the right looks like it's a different shape.

All of'em..........and yet they've all developed their own unique shape..

That's a wonderful piece I work. I can't imagine having the skill with tools to make something that requires such precision. Putting up a shelf is about my limit!

Nahhhh..........really mate...
Some bits of pine, a jigsaw, a good sander....(or an angle grinder with a sanding wheel for the tough bits)...and away you go.
The worst bit's the amount of dust you make.

I agree. I've been having lots of fun creating a lot of sawdust this last month. There's definitely a knack to it though.
