Just a quick tip: The mirrors available at the craft stores are round, but the edges haven't been seamed and you can see the variations in the edge of the mirror when it's glued in the recess. It looks... well, cheap. The trick is to use a permanent black marker and coat both the edge of the mirror and the edge of the recess.

Thanks for the tip john! thumbsup

I noticed that myself, but didn't know there was something I could DO about it. dankk2

Take a look at how he cuts his scoops on the BS. I could not believe what I was seeeing. A prefect video to show how not to do it! He should be pulling the scoop through the blade with his hands behind the blade and the guard a lot closer to the work. Now I see him using a roughing out gouge for side grain. At first, I was excited to see his site, but quickly realized I didn't need to be watching because of some of the aforemention unsafe acts. Anyway, just my opinion.

Sites like his are a good reason to get some peer review before going public.
