REMINDER - Saturday Makerday starts at 10:00 AM tomorrow
I got to spend some time with two of my projects at the Diode yesterday. Making bigger blocks of wood from smaller blocks of wood that started out as scarred, unsuitable-for-anything-but-the-fireplace planks of wood may seem like an exercise in futility. Perhaps. But I hope I can upcycle them into marking gauges. So, yes, this is a means to an end.
The large cross cut sled for the Jet table saw is coming along nicely. Steve and I trimmed and attached the runners last week. We learned how an iron counterweight from an old fork lift could be useful in that regard. This time I measured for the maximum height of a 10" saw blade and cut the back stop. There was a slight bow across the long dimension, but with the aid of a long clamp and by attaching the screws from the middle out to the ends I was able to practically eliminate it.
Wood butchering continues tomorrow. CYa at the Diode.
