• 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!

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    So, I think I found a source for birch plywood offcuts. I bought some nice birch veneered MDF from this guy a few months ago, that was used as my main assembly workbench top, and that is the one piece that turned out really, really nice. He works in a huge warehouse that has all sorts of plywood...

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    The maximum width I'd consider running through the saw is about what is on the table now.. a .little over 24". And maximum of 4' length, I think. With the outfeed support I built out yesterday, I did rip that piece into four sections of equal length, to use as spacers for my drawer box, using a...

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    Just so we are talking apples to apples. You do realize my saw has a short 22",, fixed fence, right? And I am attempting to rip 4'+ boards, of up to 24" width, if I am attempting to take off the left excess above 24", with the fence to the right of the blade?

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    Unfortunately, the temp table saw frame has 2x4 cross pieces running horizontally, so it would take quite a bit of disassembly to get the current frame dialed in at correct height. For now, I am simply struggling to get storage so I can get tools, screws/fasteners out of the way so I can work...

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    I can look into adjusting placement of the closest 2x4 block footers of the outfeed support. Right now, they physically block me putting the outfeed any closer to the saw. This picture shows that better. It did take me a few tries to get the height dialed in. Just a hair of a gap, but the...

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    Steve, I get what you and Cabinetman are saying. (Well, I get "some" of what Cabinetman is saying..The 45 degree thing was Greek to me as an abject beginner..) My no power test runs with the piece in the picture, I was seeing a significant amount of movement in the piece once the end of the...

    Any tips on a safe longer rip on a short worksite table saw fence?

    See my setup below. I built a quick tablesaw frame, but it ended up 4" too high for using my main assembly,y table for outfeed. So I built a raised platform that sits on top of the assembly workbench, so I have a good amount of outfeed. But when running the piece in the picture through a...

    Got the first section of french cleat backer board up, capped on sides, and ready to receive cleats. Taking a break from that project to try to get a drawer box into my assembly workbench. Given I have been operating almost "completely" off a track saw and miter saw... Starting to find that...

    Ummm... did I just get an entire dressers worth of mahogany for 40£? I went for the tall skinny thingie, and he had this out in his work area. There is an entire dresser carcass waiting back there for next weekend.

    Fair enough. I will definitely prioritize any oak pieces.. For a newbie.. Any particular way to tell the difference?

    Seller said that some are pine, and some are oak.. There are multiple dressers available. If I am looking for a quick fix to get some storage, would pine not be recommended? The garage is getting a little out of hand, and I "really" need to use up some of my remaining three plywood sheets on the...

    Decided to take a shortcut and look for oak dressers to repurpose the drawers directly into my assembly workbench. Going Sunday to pick up atleast one of these oak dressers

    Yeah, that is the general idea, only there will be a router station where your fence is sitting right now. Your setup looks more or less exactly what mine will end up looking like. How wide is this table when looking at the front of the saw? With the other two work benches to sit against an...
