Pens took a backseat to the cheese slicers and cutting boards. These are the replacements for those sold. Now for the drilling of the cheese slicers and cutting the slot. Yes sanding too!

Cool - be sure to check and double check the orientation before drilling and sawing! - I just finished up a couple. I sawed one on the wrong side and drilled the other one on the wrong side. I messed up the juice groove on a cutting board recently too. I have to learn to take much smaller bites with the router. - Dave

To that end here is what I do to avoid that most of the time.

1. I have a dedicated fence for my drill press. I use the laser to be sure the drill will hit my marks.
2. I have an adjustable square set on 5" and a good set of brass setup blocks
3. My sliding cutoff jig from Rockler is marked to assist even if I forget
4. It works!

PS -as a biologist I strongly urge you to stop using a juice groove. The bacteria that get in there are impossible to get rid of. It is always rough. Once I explain how my boards are smoooooth everywhere and a conditioned to prevent bacterial buildup - THEY AGREE AND BUY MINE.

Not to be too argumentative, mostly because I don't have any qualifications, but doesn't the wire slot in a cheese board act in a similar manor? Cheese bits that can't be cleaned out?
