ddowell, I like the roundover in the slot. Probably improves dust/chip extraction.

Greetings,

First, thanks to Mr Thien and all on this forum for sharing your knowledge and experience.

The name is Don and I live in the Texas Hill Country (AKA God's Country). In April of this year I had an urge to become a beekeeper (Beek). After
doing a lot of research on the subject  I decided to jump in with both feet. However purchasing hives is but one of the many expenses a Beek must
face. After seeing several plans to build hives I decided to go that route.

I haven't done any woodworking since I was in Jr High and I wasn't a whiz at it then (almost 73 now). But, after many more hours of research, a
favorite pastime, I bought a Craftsman 113.197251 Electronic Radial Arm Saw to make sawdust during the hive builds. I quickly discovered my choice
of a RAS was made in ignorance so I bought a 10" Rockwell Homecraft Table saw. With money for new blades, accessories and other tools I could have bought my first two or three hives. Oh well...

The bottom line is I have a start on becoming a woodworker as well as a Beek! I don't need my beehives until next spring so I'll start by
reconditioning my old power tools and building a Thien DS so I can keep my Ridgid vacuum and my lungs healthy.

Thanks again and Warm regards,
Don Bomer...
