Enough Laminae for a Few Bridges

OH MY DEAR BESTY!

You are a SICK man, and I mean that with all the envy I can muster.  I've got to find a way to retrofit that fence to my bandsaw.  I cannot imagine cutting a 2mm thick lamination from a 5mm thick piece.  AWESOME, DUDE!  Sometimes it's hard to separate work from play, isn't it??  Man, keep up the good work.

BTW, how does that C-clamp stay on when you slide a workpiece in there, doesn't it loosen the assembly enough to cause trouble with it slipping off?

I'm set to move into my new shop Monday.  Heat goes on, machines start rolling in, then, back to work on a couple action rebuilds, etc.  I might have to take up making bridges just so I can play like you!

Keep on,
William R. Monroe


  Below is a picture cutting some maple laminations. How do you like my new feather board? The wheel is pressed against the wood right at the blade. The horizontal clamp towards the rear keeps the wheel from touching the blade when the wood is not there.
