I just got finished the lesson I like it its format the short sections. I could see taking the tablet into the shop and working along one section at a time.
Bottom line I think its got potential

23 April 2016 at 6:31 pm #136635With 8/4 stock you should be good to seven feet
The few I have made are normally six foot but I have had customers order eight foot the two where built with 8/4 rough stock. So after planing they are under two inch I would gess about 3/16 under.
If to test put a board between saw benches and see. You will find its guite stiff if you want to lighten the look plane the long side thinner by 1/16 to 3/32 this will change the look of the top guite a bit you only thin about. Six inches in a taper to the finished edge it will not be noticeable
Frankj22 April 2016 at 6:11 am #136596Iam sorry Joe should have checked with you first,but some of us have a bad habit of classing saws as to useage, I have the catalogs it was new when I revived it and the postage was 3 cents I just like keeping them I don’t study them, don’t have time have Back orders for custom chesssets and chess tables. Only six to get done now and four custom saws to make I would normally say one Reagan back saw two small dovetail ten inch and a twenty inch panel saw. But as you know saw makers don’t class saws I hope sometime to have time to study the old catalog’s and the hundred or so books I have collected over the past sixtey years or so not certain I forget a lot of important things

Frankj22 April 2016 at 3:29 am #136591It is a carcass saw I think, its a bit long for a sash. From what I can see,look up Diston carcass saw and then compare it to a sash saw
Frankj7 April 2016 at 4:57 pm #136239What Greg said is spot on, was taught to use them. With a sexton in the servace it’s for chart plots ect, they where in common use into the 1960 when radio and satellite navigation took over, it is still taught in some schools like West point.

That looks good, walnut that is heat dryed is often brittle, If you can find it get air dryed it will cost more but it’s worth it, I use green for turnings and it’s wonderful to work with8 February 2016 at 1:29 am #134633Hi Misha

Frankj26 January 2016 at 3:56 am #134195It can help if you have reverse or wild grain but use it lite on the flat of a board…
