That would be funny! With any luck, I'll be an 80 year old Ross enthusiast at that point and able to say "nope, I did those actually".
It goes together really slick when you get it right. I'm using a wood router bit in my spindle chuck running at about 4,000RPM. The whole thing ends up really square, I hand plane the upper surface then square everything off of it and one side of the blank, then center it using a dead center in a chuck on both the spindle and tail stocks. Then measure it up and start cutting. It's pretty foolproof compared to the dowel set up and will be much much stronger.
