big bug

Nice! It would probally look better in my box though!

Nice topwater design , I like the idea about those grooves !

By looking at the size of the hardware I assume , that it is about 3 1/2" long , isn't it ?

yea it's 3 1/2" long.i found a really cool tool for making the grooves. i think it's called a

dovetail cutter.it's made to use on a milling machine, but it works good on a drill press

with a cross slide vise. had to make a jig for it too.i wish tu had a place here where members

could trade our works of art.thanks for the comments.
