Scribing plywood (Now with more RAD)

You must BELIEVE in the power of the SCRIBE!!!

In summary:

Going with the grain is FULL-ON-BAWLS. Removes in one strip with a much sharper edge. Heck it even sliced easier and took half the time =)

And plywood-on-end isn't even that bad for a really quick attempt.

GAME ON.

Isn't it Balls to the wall or stand in this case? YOU might be full on balls....

On topic, looks pretty good. I like the idea. How are you going to finish the "cuts" paint/stain or just leave them rough?

i tried wrapping regular sandpaper around the end of a few credit cards to give the proper width and a nice fit. It cleaned up the valley really nice =)

After that i'll brush all these cuts and then roll the face all with the same color. I want the subtle details but I don't want these lines to be a different color and stand out.\\

I'd prefer a spray finish but I can't do that myself and I'm totally ok with the finish on my current stand.

I was all over that thing till I saw the price! My style would be to zip-tie two utility knives together.

Ah! You'll do fine. Slow and steady wins the race.

Still cheaper than the one that I was thinking of.
