• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

NASA Launch, and there is no excuse for stupidity!


Yes, I have already had a serious discussion with the ID10T in the workshop. Lots of foreign language!

He knows it is dangerous to work like this, careless, stupid etc etc etc ……….


Wife plays Canasta on a Friday morning at the Clubhouse, arrived home one morning and advised the ID10T that they required another couple of blocks to hold the cards.

At the same time she also ordered 4 blocks for her game of “Ticket To Ride Europe”.


Done this before, an expert, see link https://www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk/threads/canasta-card-holder.8933/

There are also some pics.

** An Expert is a drip under pressure!


Not a problem, generate some good size Pine offcuts from the hive boxes. Glue 2 pieces together to get a thickness of about 40/50mm. Also used some 12mm ply offcuts glued to the Pine.


Width 45-50mm


The blocks are cut into length of 220mm, shorter than the previous lot, or best fit for length of plank.


I needed to trim a small bit off a block, on the base, at an 8 degree angle.

This will be cut on the table saw with the blade tilted towards the fence.

No guards used, blade raised to its highest setting and the fence set at the thickness of the block.


This is not the first time that I am doing it this way, just make sure the push sticks are used.


Yes ……… going like a Boeing! (watch this space)

Right, 11 cut, blade marks will be planed off, including blocks wider than 50mm.


The last block is also a wider one which results in the blade not cutting all the way through.

Cut nearly all the way down the length when it jammed.

Then the blade launched the block.

Straight into the shelves with bottles of fasteners.

It destroyed 2 bottles with panel pins (the smallest pins in stock). There were pins and glass all over on the shelves, router table, floor, behind the router table, on the work bench ……….

Surprising how far bits of glass can fly. I still need to clean up behind the router table.

Finish was Woodoc 10

11 Done, dusted and delivered.
 
At least it did not harm you Phil.
Bob, yes, apart from my nerves.
I did have a small plank flip back into my chest couple of months ago.
Nice blue, green, purple mark.

Whoops Phil, I just knew it was going to happen from your description, a valuable lesson learned quite cheaply really. Thank goodness for push sticks!
Ian despite the push sticks it still lifted.

Well unless I’ve not understood, you are cross cutting a piece of wood that’s wider than it is long, and it’s trapped between the blade and the fence. It’s a recipe for an accident and yes push sticks wouldn’t /couldn’t stop it happening. I meant that it was good you had the sticks to keep your hands well away.

These are all rip cuts on the table saw.
Cross cutting is on the RAS where the cut can be up to 300mm.
Ripping on the RAS pulls the wood in towards the blade unless I turn the head around. Too much effort, so all ripping is on TS.
Current RAS blade is a ripper which does excellent cross cuts. Use this when cutting the roof trusses for the bee hives, which cuts along and across the grain.
The plank that flipped was wider on the fence side as I did not want to keep on adjusting the fence for all the planks to be cut.

Hope that makes more sense :(
