Todays Plans.
A. Go to town, dump rubbish.
B. Tidy workshop/pay pen.

Then Rest.


Oh well, best laid plans and all that..

I made an owl.

Why?

Don't know, but the scraps look like they wanted to be made into something.
So I did.

I decided to make a mitre gauge for the new to me table saw.

Its all imperial size on the table so i found it easier and cheaper to make one, cost about £12 in ally.


100 x100x 6mm

Trim down

For the clamp i just tapered down the inner edge by .5mm so it clamps down.

Works dam fine, a few 45 deg cuts and hey ho

Well chuffed with it

Yes i could of bought one but i couldnt find an imperial one and heck why buy one when you can make it lol.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Will probably use some rebar with it when I concrete it into the ground.
