One day I'm going to make a meal tray, a serving tray or a picture frame and not have to fill the mitre corners with shim wood or wood glue and sawdust.
Cheers, Tony.

I have a mitre block, but it don't help! The cut wanders off anyway,
A few thick coats of varnish ofer the glue and wooddust mix will hide a multitude of sins...
We like a good chinese or Malay meal (we met in Hong Kong care of HMtQ Gawd bless 'er) and I need a sturdy tray to take out all the prepared vegies and assorted sauces to the gas ring outside rather than making multiple trips.
Cheers, Tony.

A good chum is an artist, and makes his own frames using a purpose-made steel-mounted mitre block, so his corners are perfect!
Like you, my mitre block has had so much use it's very worn, so I tend to make a fuss about a square joint these days...
