Snap, so long as it performs Jerry I'll consider it value for money. It would be remiss of me if I didn't mention the nice looking project on your bench, how about a shot or two showing HOW you made those nice mitres.

I haven't meant to seem to ignore your question, but I was confused by it because I just did them on the DeWalt miter saw. But then I realized I had done two things that made for a good fit both at the corners and to the center plywood. I started with a piece of scrap wood long enough to go around the plywood and at first I was just going to butt it to the plywood and at the corners. What I ended up doing is a shallow rabbet joint the depth of my saw blade. This was if it were not a perfect fit, it would not show. next I cut the 45's easing my way to as close to a perfect fit as possible and then just adjusting everything to give the impression that I might know what I was doing!!

I will be making a few more of these panels to hang things on instead of the wall. Things like a fire extinguisher, a place for safety glasses and ear protection. (I do use both all the time). What I will do is show pics how I did that if you would like, just let me know. One frustration I have is tight miter joints, or any joint for that matter. For myself the joint must look like a hair line and no more. I know it can be done because I have seen the work, yours included, done by members of this forum and that is what I aspire to. You masters challenge me to do better that I think I can and that's what makes this forum and hobby satisfing.
