A couple of days ago, I caught the ending of David Marks' Woodworks program
and he was doing a burl veneer table. He briefly showed how he used a
mirror to figure out how to position the burl, or something like that. I
missed it, and it was just him going over the highlights.
What exactly was he doing with the mirror? Is it a common practice or
technique? I'm just curious and would like to learn about it some more.
TIA,
Mike Dembroge
Thanks for the heads-up everyone. I learned something here. Never heard of
doing this, but it sure looks interesting.

We must of had the same dream. The one I saw he was definitely using two
mirrors, taped at right angles to get a diamond match on the veneer.

Nor I. I've read far too many of the "articles" on DIYNet, but can't get the
show. After reading the articles, I didn't care.

The show is definitely a cut above the rest of DIY.

again, i was informed by SWMBO that i was drooling on my chest and

Diamond match features mirrors at right angles to preview.
