re: Trivets

Nice job Barb, they look great. Also got the finger joint blade usable, so a double win. I think if you get to doing a lot of finger joints, you'll find that blade a trusty ally.

I did a few of these for Christmas gifts a few years back. Way before Kerf Master or that Microjig spacer. Once I figured out the spacing I cut a white Oak block and clamped it to the fence. Somewhere in my pile of piles I still have it, written on it's side I wrote TRIVET. I think if I made them today I would use a router, and a spacer jig. I just know trying to keep that spacing exact, would be more measuring than I like to do without a jig. Or, maybe I would finally get the Rockler jig my Wife gave me a few Christmases back, out and use it. Hmmm maybe I need to open that thing up. :-)
