Heres Oak floating shelves I made for the wife for Xmas. There 18mm veneered Oak mdf. I mitred all the edges with the TS55r. Laid all the joints out flat. Applied masking tape to all the joints flipped it all over and applied glue them slowly bought it all together.

Rounded over the edges with a screw driver to take the sharpness off and sprayed them with the three coats of clear lawyer. No build pics as I did this at the last minute.

Cool

As the saying goes a "happy wife equals a happy life"

Maybe you can convince here that buying a kapex is a good idea now lol.
 
I have the kapex dude.  [big grin] :-X great machine. I love the ts for site work and the kapex as well. I prefer a big sliding panel saw in a workshop. I'm way more efficient on one of those
 
"clear lawyer"--i tried to get me some of that, but all i could find are murky shady ones.
btw, is that your wife in the pic, cleaning up your installation mess?

anyhew, all kidding aside, project looks great dude. happy new year!
 
Ya that's her following me woth the hoover cleaning my mess :-) Cheers dude. Ya my phone is so crappy it doesn't even have a flash for the camera
