Bart,

Another project for you and the crew.




Building one very similar right now bill. Having a hard time explaining to my partner how to book end match 2 slabs. He could not get how precise the alignment needs to be on a bookend match. He was about to cut each piece separately!! The only way to get 2 planks that grain align perfectly is to cut the planks at the same time from 2 consecutive slabs stacked together as they came off the log. Lines must be laid out on the smaller of the 2 slabs so the planks have no chance of having any warning in the edges. After the cuts are made the top plank can be folded over and only now will they be bookend matched with perfect grain alignment. Heres a pic.IMG_8921.jpg
The piece of ply wood is a poor man's track saw the plank below the plywood can now be folded over for a perfect grain aligned book match. Very simple to see but hard to tell the all ruler and framing square type carpenters that this is it.....the only way to do it right.
 

Now I'm trying to convince him to run them both through the jointer at the same time ??? Its scary for him having never done this stuff before....but damn man.... just listen to me man......this is basic stuff for any boatbuilder !! Hes a cautious learner....but I guess that's good !! I better get up there and supervise this. Bbl.
 

Bart,

You have a twisted logic like me....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

When I was doing Railway marketing I used to mentally come up with the answer to a difficult problem and then backtrack and prove that my logic was correct....:icon_scratch::icon_scratch::icon_scratch:

The MBA crowd were used to doing the exercise using case study methodology they had learned at University. Their thought process was linear from start to finish, whereas I did it backwards and it used to confuse the hell out of them....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:
