offsets

Does anyone know where I can get a table of offsets for the Nomad?

it's cheap andeasy to make a dust curtain out of pvc pipe and plastic also I read somewhere that if you use fluresant (sorry bout the spelling) lights the tubes create a static charge and hold dust when you turn them off they release the dust into the air

glue lines
If you really want the glue lines to disappear you can shape a scraper into a V and scrape a groove the length of your joints. Then mix some wood glue with sanding dust (basicly homemade wood putty) from the wood you are useing and fill in the groove and sand flush. I have heard that you can use epo...
