Hey guys,
I know these aren't the typical spring angles. My situation is a bit different and quite interesting. I have a canopy bed with upper rails that must have these (54.7 and 35.3) degree angles ripped along each edge.
The 54.7 is easy. The 35.3... Not so much. At least not to my knowledge. Any tips on how to safely rip 4 boards (2 @ roughly 7' and / @ roughly 8') with one edge being at a 35.3 degree angle to the face?
Neither of my bandsaws will tilt this much, nor will either of my table saws or my festool TS-75, or my jointer. As I'm typing this I realized my numbers were backwards. I can set my table saw for a 54.7 degree cut, but the resultant angle that is left is the 35.3. So I need to cut the 35.3 that leaves the resultant 54.7 on one of the edges of each of the 4 boards.
Do me a favor and spare me any 'drama' along the lines of some of the other recent threads regarding my jobs and potential jobs. Thanx! If were all honest with ourselves there's always something for ALL of us to learn in almost any job or project. If not, then you're/were not pushing our limits and are therefor stagnating as woodworkers. I, for one, am not afraid to push myself. I know what I can and can't do. So let's please keep the answers, if any, limited to the questions asked.
As my father always quoted, "The difficult I can do right away. The impossible... That'll take a little while."
I'll upload a SketchUp drawing now and a close up of the piece on question in a minute.
