Hi
Some time ago I saw some pics of a beautiful wooden rod tube with brass ends. The maker gave a wed site address for the end caps, Now I can't find the info again. Can anyone help?

Those are just a mitered joint cut at 30 degrees. You either need a good table saw with little or no runout or you can use a table router with a 30 degree bit. I use a table saw and set my blade using a digital angle cube. I figured out my sizes(widths of slats) using a Cad program.

Hey Dick, Could you email me the specs that you use? I'm a little too dumb to handle a cad program. I can run a table saw. I would like to make a couple of those rod cases for me.

Thanks!


John
