Bit suggestions?Dremil
I'll give it a shot.End grain eh? A scraper would be the first thing I would try.
Lost me.Scraper. Make one for the indent. You'll love it.

Can you be more specific? Not sure exactly what you mean by "Make one for the indent."
I'll try this.rennie i had sent you a pm, but i hadnt seen the pics.. what she is saying i think is to make one out of a old saw blade and basically you need to have it bent in a shape of a allen wrench so you can handle it from above but get into the corner think a junk screw drive flatted and sharpened then bent at 90 degrees to get at your corner then scrape off the burn with it.
This looks interesting. Might run over to the borg to see if there is anything like it since waiting for delivery would be inconvenient.Rennie what about the sanding mops. http://www.stockroomsupply.com/The_Sanding_Mop.php
They come in smaller sizes for dremmel tools as well

There is a few videos through this site that show you how to use them.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
Sorry Rob. Probably a good idea but I have a very old Dremel with no variable speed. I tried several different sanding solutions with it and they all burned the end grain or were much too aggressive and burned.This looks interesting.

Back to scraping. (Which is working, just a bit slow)
I've written more than a few note in the margin of the book.one thing is for sure you wont make this mistake again in avery long time you seem to learn fast as you take the medicine for hurrying to much been there done that
A moot point now as I have already done the scraping. However, no. The knuckles at the end of the leg effectively changes the angle at which the leg fits into the jig thereby changing the look of the indent. I could have shimed it, but knowing the router is the one machine that can ruin a project the fastest (DAMHIKT) I decided to go the more neander route. Had I double checked on the depth of the indent things might not have been so bad. Yes, I might still have had some burning for reasons stated by others, but the wals of the indent would have been much shallower and the subsequent rounding over of the sides to smooth them out would have all but eliminated them.Rennie, is there any way to adapt the design to make the hollowed area say 1/16 or 1/32" longer, and just re-route the end?
soooo, how'd the scraping turn out?
i think he wants us to feel bad for him like we give sympathy here huh
