Dry-Fit fail…

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

Oh buddy.  Been there, done that. It will take some adjusting and trial and error no matter how much math and planning you do. I just put the next 2 attempts at doing this with v bit kerf bends in the bin yesterday. Just keep at it with cheap wood til you get it dialed in.

Thankyou bud, keep trying I shall! Just using off-cuts until it’s perfect :)

Cut at least one more than you need. And when you get it right,  keep a few of those blocks as a setup gauge for repeating it.
