  Hi Fenton,

  Take a look at my website page http://www.farrellpiano.com/panels.htm It pretty well shows the ABCs of how I glue up a panel.

  The big MDF/pine fence is a home-made add-on that bolts to the original aluminum fence that came with the saw. I think the original fence is maybe 5 or 6 inches tall. My add-on fence is 10 inches tall - when I am resawing taller pieces, it is nice to have the taller support. Most of the boards I am currently resawing are about 9 inches wide/tall.

  I meant for my fence to be flat, but it seems to have warped a bit. Fortunately it warped convex toward the blade. Sometimes a board I am trying to resaw is warped a bit, and the slight warp of the fence helps to not hold the board out from the fence - I'm always able to keep it flush with the fence.

  Some saws have attachments that are a small diameter curved piece that attaches to the fence for resawing. What that does is it lets a board go through at whatever angle it needs to to accommodate any drift the blade might have. The blades I'm using don't have drift. They simply cut straight all the time, every time. So I don't find a need for such a device.

  I use the 1-1/4" blade as it is the largest that my saw accommodates. They also make a 2-inch resaw blade. I wish I could afford the saw that can handle that blade!

    Thanks for the great pictures, Terry. I've been off the list for months, just took a peek a followed this thread back to your photos. Thanks so much for sharing. I'd love to see your glue up. I've got a Delta 14" that I know will work fine for resawing up to 6" or so, just have to feed slow and get trued up with fence and feather board. I take it that's what the stack on the right of the stock is acting as. Is the board on the right screwed to a straight fence. I know there are some radiused fences used for re-sawing, although I've not seen or used them.
