This is a great resource for those of us starting out. I cobbled together the tools several years ago and am still playing around with simple designs whenever I get a free 30 minutes to an hour (which is sort of rare actually). I'm still fighting with getting TIGHT fitting pieces, but the few things I've made have impressed those that know less than I do so I think I'm moving in the right direction.
Thank you! Tight fitting pieces always mean your angle is too steep. I find people have a tendency to naturally drift their sawing off plumb a bit. Some folks end up with habitually tight pieces, some with loose. I was a loosey when I started out. Knowing about my natural sawing tendencies has allowed me to be conscious of them and correct when necessary.
Certainly Wood is also an amazing resource. Their customer service is top notch. They don't have the most selection of thicker veneers but they certainly have some! Also their shipping is wicked fast.
