Thanks. I'm not so great with a miter saw or router, but I got them here and need to start using them more. Up close the corners are a bit rough. From a sitting distance it looks fine. I would have preferred the grain on the top to go left-right instead of front to back, but it's together, solid and heavy. I've got a 1249 that needs a new plinth as well. Hopefully the mistakes on this one will yield an improved version. I'm thinking rosewood since the 1229 took over for the 1249 which is pushing out my Hitachi HT500.
