Thanks rstermer for the link

You talk about taking a simple and easy to setup bit and turning it to a nightmare , well ,, this guy did it,, they make a 3 bit sets that anyone can setup and use without using a slide ruler to get the job done...

It makes me recall the guy who spend 2 hours to setup and rip a board on the table saw with all the Mic.and gages,etc. .... and the next day the board was bowed out of shape aging...

Keep it simple

Bobj3-
I'd agree if it's decorative and not structural. If strength and weight are a consideration, then this guy's approach looks like a good approach. That said, unless a person really knows what they are doing, better give it to a qualified engineer to look at before potentially putting anyone's life or health at risk. Thanks for your comment, practical and down to earth as usual!
