I missed guide alignment!!
I use the reflection of my work light. I puts a bright streak the length of the blank
which is very helpful.
I also forgot Spining. Just follow Al's advice. If you don't find a spine don't worry I've had 2 blanks that appear to have no spine. Hats off to Batdon!!

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
