Bridge City Saw
Don’t know much about it, but the idea is cool!
“..the Jointmaker is that it is a hand-powered table saw that uses a Japanese saw blade mounted so that a table slides very precisely above it. The saw blade can be tilted in both directions and can be adjusted for depth. This simple flexibility allows it to make incredible things, from snug-fitting tenons to crazily precise miters.
As far as I can tell, it does everything a regular table saw does except for long rip cuts, which is why it is called the Jointmaker. Producing almost no noise and using no electrical power, it is quite a minimalist saw, but that’s the point.”
Playing with my early Christmas present
Labeling my work was Larua’s idea so guess what I got as an early Christmas present? I stamped my first initial, last name and 2010 in the end tables today. What fun! Who would have thought?
End Tables start to come together
The fitting.
Using my new skewed rabbit plane to trim the tenons to a perfect fit. I used Chris Schwarz’s suggestion and removed the front knob which makes the plane look pretty, but gets in the way during use.
The glue up ..
And the post clamp view.
12.17 End Table Progress
This is as far as I got today. The first dry assembly on the first table. Drawer runners for front still need to be created and installed. My newly sharpened paring chisels made this a fast and easy fitting.
