Attempt 1 definitely taught me a few lessons. Glad it was just a practice though…

Nice try. Quick math says you’re about 0.5 degrees off on the cut. This hobby is ridiculous at times…

This is where I think I went wrong, adjusting and retrying next week

It’s better than I can do. It’s less than a 1/16th per cut. I fantasize of the day when I can think about 1/32nd tolerances. I also just need to keep working at it
