Looks really good, dimibetan! I've used Meranti to make some laminated sides. It is quite nice to work with and lightweight!

Smile Describe what you are doing?

Cool pics, and I love bevels! But I would vote for nice descriptions of what is happening...

Now following, but just here, as I am not much for youTube . Too old, I guess.

Cheers

Paul
