More of a test and familiarisation exercise on the use of the Kapex than a serious project. I initially tried using stop blocks to cut to length but this was not accurate enough for some reason so I taped the pieces together and cut them all at the same time. No fettling required joints are as tight as a gnats rear end.
I have used surface splines before on a square trivet years ago so did the same here. Lignum vitae used for the splines. Scrap pine for the rest.
No finish it will go straight in the kitchen.

When I get time a will make a nesting set of 3.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Useful project Andy & good test piece.
Did you cut the grooves for the splines on the Kapex with the trenching feature ?
My Kapex is going on 10 years old now & I don’t regret spending the money on it it really is a quality piece of kit, though I will admit the intervening years have seen a rapid descent down a slippery green slope :o :lol: thankfully I think I’m at the bottom now :?

yes Doug and all done with the supplied blade. Ideally a flat top ground blade would have been better to cut the grooves but it hardly shows.
The Kapex is probably overkill for my needs but as I don't drink nor smoke nor play golf.... I am sure one could buy half a dozen Kapexes for the cost of one years gold club membership.
