It's the Little Things

I made a similar covers for each side using 1/2" plywood. I added a 3/4 boarder on 3 sides to stop things from falling on the floor. I also imbedded neodymium button magnets to the under side to adhere to the table
 
After nervously using a converntional HSS dovetail cutter, I made a couple of Randy Richard style cutters. Haven't tried them yet, waiting for inserts for the larger one. My black oxide is getting better.

Looks great!
If I had the skill I would make a set.
Would you share a pic showing dimensions and angles?
I would like to try

Funny you should ask. Randy didn't actually provide the numbers in his video, he just used an insert to establish the cut and tap locations.

That's not my style, so I drew it up in Acad and interrogated for the dimensions. This is the smaller one.

Drawing Removed

The lathe work is pretty obvious, here's the setup for milling the insert seat.

I need to do a little work on the drawing for the larger one.
