Old Oak
Sorry chaps, no WIP pictures, but not really sure it justifies any.
Very basic, ply base, runners and handles with old oak floor boards for fences front and back.
Very much follows the Wood Whisperer's approach, including the 'five cut' method of squaring the fence. I ended up with the fence out by 0.5mm over a length of 40cm. A complete cock up on the first adjustment where I threw the whole thing out by much more than when it started, I adjusted the fence by 3mm when it actually needed to be moved by 0.3mm. Don't think I could have made it more accurate as I don't own any feeler gauges, I made the last adjustment using slivers of ply I had cut before.
Fence on the left extends to edge of www to allow for stop blocks a bit further from the blade.
Will add a block behind the point where the blade passes through the rear fence, currently glueing up bits of ply to perform that function.
