I got a beautiful yellow cedar plank from a friend who bought several from a sawmill in Canada--old growth trees reclaimed from the bottom of a lake. Now I'm ready to start making strips.
First job is to rip the 1 in. blocks off the big board. I made a long series of supports by screwing rollers to my cabinet saw table, workbench, another table saw and finally a couple of outfeed supports. What a funny picture !
After all that, the Grizzly kept overloading the circuit, so rather than mess around with it, I sold it and made a mobile base for the Unisaw. Made enough money selling tools on Craigslist that I can get a couple of GripTite magnetic featherboards and a Kreg Precision Miter System.
Well, I rearranged the shop and turned the Unisaw around 180 degrees. Cutting the plank on the big Unisaw was easy and I got the strips all ripped in 2 days. When I get a spare day, I will do the bead and cove thing and we'll be ready to make a canoe!
