    Need sawyer who can handle 60" cuts.

    I have a couple large pieces of B.W. and B.C. that I need slabbed. The Walnut is approx 54" wide at its widest point. The wood is located near Pilot Mountain but could be moved to another site. My mill is nowhere large enough and I don't have enough experience on my Alaskan to slab something...

    Miter cuts for picture frames

    I need help making a good miter with a cross cut saw. I have tried this for years now and still can't seem to get a decent miter. There must be a secret that someone can share. I searched the web earlier this evening. One thought was to make sure I had a good fine tooth blade in the saw. My...

    Wavy cuts on the sawmill

    This is a question for those who actually know what they are doing. I have been using the lt40 woodmizer and several of the last logs have been real wavy. I was curious what the fixes might be. I am cutting pretty big(32" wide) white oak. The blades are old but were resharpened. I didn't...

    Practice handsaw cuts

    For those of you that didn't see my earlier thread: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f30/starting-out-hand-saws-21815/ I'm new to handsawing, and after reading some advice and reviews, I ended up getting the Veritas Dovetail saw. I don't really have a reference point to compare it except for...

    Anyone have a jig for narrow repetitive rip cuts?

    Hello braintrust, I have a need to cut a bunch of 1/4" thick strips approx. 25" long from 11/16" stock. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to keep the thickness consistent. I remember seeing a homemade tablesaw jig somewhere, which would help in moving the fence exactly the same distance...

    Tenon Shoulder cuts

    Maybe everybody knew this, but I recently discovered this tip when making shoulder cuts for tenons. 1. Set your fence cursor to 1-1/8" (assuming your blade is standard.) For 3/32" thin kerf blades, set the fence to 1-3/32" If your blade is non-standard, set the fence to 1" plus the blade...

    Staining inside cuts different colors

    If I wanted to add a little color to the inside cut edges different than the top - would it work to put a carefully applied coat of poly on the top and then do the color on the inside cuts? Would the top coat of poly prevent any "spill over" (translate as sloppy, unskilled) of the color from...

    Ripping angle cuts

    There is a ongoing thread on Woodnet about making a 51º rip cut on a table saw. Can it be done? My shade-tree geometry says that a 39º blade angle will result in a 51º cut when the board is flipped over. What do ya'll think????? Dave(never very good at math):-)
