Scatter Lee's got WOOD (and vice grips!).

Scatter Lee · February 14th, 2009, 12:11 AM

This wood was givin to me yesterday, dont know what it was, real rough cut, 54"x11 1/2"x1 5/8", old piece, not warped, looked cool

not big enough for a one piece so I cut it 7" wide for a two piece with a old power saw

found an old computer desk in the corner and used a piece for a straight edge, used router to cut me a straight line

used a 1 1/2 " bit to cut 1 5/8" , took a couple of passes but it worked

Scatter Lee · February 14th, 2009, 12:17 AM

used the ol powersaw to cut some slabs

got out the ol claps an glue

clap em up

Scatter Lee · February 14th, 2009, 12:26 AM

also glued up another body from the leftovers

setup the good ol handy planner/router type thing

plane that baby down to 1 1/2" thick

I think it may be Pine? ya think?

Scatter Lee · February 14th, 2009, 01:22 AM

trace me a line, and look for leather glove

good ol saw gets the job done, it's the hand burner model

Excellent!!

Jack Wells · February 14th, 2009, 03:50 PM

Very informative. Those without a well equipped woodshop should pay attention to this thread. It's great to see other methods of getting the job done.
