Cross Project

[James Jaragosky]

The cross will be 11 foot tall and 7” thick when completed. It is for our Church. We are a small congregation of less than 100 active members, so cost was an issue when choosing a suitable wood for the project.
Redwood was the winner at 3.70bf
The arms in the pictures are 36 x30 inches x1.625 thick
#20 biscuits and TiteBond3 were used in the glue ups.
I will post as the project progresses

Good eye. Yes it is.
We were making frames for some Christmas gifts.

Yes the back end is used as a work bench when not needed as a cutting surface. I do have a very sturdy Corian bench just out of the photo.
Yes that sticker is from my old local 181 in Chicago.we did some fine projects.

I will be posting pictures as the project moves along.


Thanks for looking and posting.

I guess thats the one plus of the rails on my shop bot since they do keep me from covering my table up with too much stuff when not cutting.

You should see my table saw right now
