Drilling the holes on the drill press. (view 1)

The board is run through the joiner to square 1 edge and the table saw to make the edges parallel.

Then the location of the gauges are laid out and the holes are drilled into the board for the gauges.

After the holes are drilled there is a lot of sanding.

At this stage I sand a project starting with 120 grit and ending with 240 grit.

After the initial sanding I run the board through the router to round the edges. Then I sand from 240 grit to 400 grit.

After the sanding I brand and sign the piece.
