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.

Holy cow there are at least 10 diff planes there that would work great. Unfortunately I'm against shelling out for a tool I'm never going to use again. I want tho!

even more simple would be to go buy 1/8 x 1/8 molding (or make it) and glue it to the stand for a raised profile instead of a sunken one.

unless there is a reason for the sunkin profile you are talking about.

I'm after a look inspired by that pic in my first post hence the recessed grooves. I realize the pic I posted has the multiple pieces of wood touching and the gap is much narrower. My cuts will be narrower than my test piece I think.

I don't know Steve I just enjoy torturing myself =)
