I'm thinking of making a Roubo type frame saw to resaw beams.
The beams I need to resaw are about 14" wide, so I plan on running both edges over my tablesaw then using a frame saw to finish the rip.
My bandsaw does not have enough resaw capacity to do this, or I would use it. I'm not going the neanderthal way out of romanticism! But I'm actually looking forward to using doing this.
I came across the Blackburn Tools site, and they can sell me a blade and hardware in various sizes, plus plans to build the saw.
They have blades in lengths of 32", 36" and 48".
The beams are Doug fir.
What length blade would be most suitable for resawing a 14" wide beam?
Is the Blackburn Tools kits a good one?
Any other advice you might have on this is very welcome.
Thanks, Mark
