Spent yesterday milling up the timber for the window and frame in the workshop. Started with two 3m long rough sawn 45mm oak boards that I've had in the store for several years.
First step was to take reduce the 3m boards to 2m and 1m which correspond roughly to the length and height I will need. Then to take off the live edge, did this with a 2m masons straight edge (aluminium extrusion) screwed into the opposite live edge to give me something straight to ride the rip fence. Worked really well.
Then rip to rough section and plane and thickness most of it. The remainder I then re-sawed to provide the thinner stock I needed for some parts. Did this on the TS, cutting in from both sides as it it too wide (8cm) to do in one pass. Prefer the TS for this as 2m sections are hard to handle well on the bandsaw with it's little table.
All the ripping was done with a new thin kerf blade. Really pleased with it. However, I had forgotten that I will need a thinner riving knife, and ended up doing it with the riving knife removed. It was all straight grained, so got away without any problems.
More tomorrow....
