Misery.

Well folks,

I love ma woodworking. And I bought an old sailing boat a couple years ago so I've a mountain of projects.

Always wanted to get a milling set up, can't justify it though. No space to store, to dry to sell bla bla bla.

So I tried this set up in the picture below. Basically screw the piece into a jig that has 2 flat faces, run it through a tablesaw. Max size would be about 10cm square by a meter, useful size that.

Sounds easy enough. It's a bastard.

Did a bit tonight, it's utterly backbreaking, fiddly and slow. And I blew the fuse in my shite tablesaw. 

Back to the drawing board. 

Anywhere, here's a couple of pictures of some rowan.

Well I've got plenty of saws and all that, it's just they're my work saws and I don't want to start milling with them.

Yea, the thing to do is to pick up a cheap saw and just crack on with a milling jig. I suppose I was just looking for a way to do it with what I've got. I do think a better ripping blade on the tablesaw would make a difference. You can pick up one of these 80cc makitas for £500.

Just wanted a rant really!

Nothing wrong with a rant
