Set of impact (phosphate coating) deep set sockets wrapped in 60/80 grit works great :)
Total agree. Got to remember I am inherently lazy and didn't want to remove a full 1/8" via sand paper. Given my experience in the wood working industry I knew I could make short work of this with a scraper. It worked like a charm.
A set of deep well sockets is absolutely a must when working on a barrel channel. If you will get what's know as floor paper in 80 and 100 grit it will blow you away how long it lasts. They use it on floor machines for sanding wood floors.
 
So nobody has criticized the outcome in post # 40. I have thick skin. :)
I would really like some feedback in regards to the epoxy going AWOL when I routed over it. Its where I flagged it with the red arrow right behind the bolt cutout.

I think it looks GREAT and even more is going to serve you well. I wouldn't worry about a thing.
 
When it's thin like that and unsupported, even the most razor sharp cutter will lift it up.
Given the support at the tang, have I suffered a loss with that blow out? I didn't feel like it was doing much.
I should have back cut it but had my head rectally inserted. It probably would have survived a slow back cut.

When I did the inletting on the Shehane Baby Tracker in post #16, my big problem was the laminate wanting to shred, especially with that much wood removal.I had a couple of spots, but just put the ack an used the true oil to seal it.
 
I claim no expertise in stock making. However, when working with uncooperative woods we quite often do climb cuts (run opposite of normal feed direction. Very slow and stay away from the full cut and work our way in in small steps. I won't let our rookies do it. Too damn easy to wind up with a router in your lap or launch a part out of the shaper.
We're you running it on a milling machine?
 
Don't expect anyone to slam your bedding job around here. I would say we all probably remember our first rodeo, and it usually doesn't come out looking that pretty.
Mine sure wasn't. I was too embarrassed to show it to anyone.
