Table project is done, posted, whatever.....Boss seemed to like it..
Gazebo Table, with planter.JPG
However...there is a stack of 3/4" thick pieces in the shop....some 6" wide....but, not very long. too thick to make small, fancy boxes from...too small for any larger projects....maybe I can resaw them all down....say about 3/8" thick? Bandsaw more or less refuses to do such work. However, IF I use the tablesaw to cut a kerf all the way around these 6 planks....I might use that kerf to resaw with a handsaw.....and get a Cardio Workout to boot?
Tablesaw uses an 8-1/4" blade, and that is about all the bigger it can handle. Set up the rip fence...

Disston D8, 5-1/5 ppi, 28" Rip saw....have to watch out...
June Project 21, pops open when done.JPG
These short planks tend to "pop" open....on the longer boards....I wanted a bit more elbow room....might as well use the entire blade on each stroke..

Saw almost, but not quite all the way down....flip the board over, and complete the cuts...
