When does science meet woodworking? A couple of years ago I was driving by my old high school and I saw that they were throwing away the old lab benches. The legs and stretchers were solid oak so I felt it prudent to rescue them from their landfill future.
Fast forward to the present. I picked up a jointer and planer this year so I set out this last week to square up all the wood that I found. I have enough for an extension table for my PM2000. I was thinking that I would run the laminations parallel to the blade so that the expansion of the wood does not press out against the rails but instead out the right side of the rails.
Any thoughts?
