Let's see what we can make together!
Make San Antonio rocked out a Corner Radius Router Jig … whew that’s a huge name for such a little thing. It’s a template for a router to follow and cut rounded edges on a piece of wood. A woodworking friend challenged us to get it done and we blew him away with the final Read More …
A big thank you to all those who have supported us, gave us feedback, suggestions and well wishes. We appreciate all the help during this membership drive.
