But as i got more comfortable, and my saw cuts becoming more consistent, i started getting closer and closer to the line. This is something i've never felt i could achieve using my old saw. I've mislead you and others in thinking i'll never pair again, Sorry. Pairing gives me excellent results, and i doubt i'll ever have a row of pins that come mint from the saw. What i should have wrote is "The initial accuracy has greatly reduced the amount of pairing needed" .<br /><br /><br />Tylermckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338448205297418118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151311815241629829.post-46342669024060919352012-04-17T12:47:01.282-07:002012-04-17T12:47:01.282-07:00so were those done with no pairing? impressive.

First i'd make the mortise with less pitch, i did 4 degrees, i think 2 would be enough for 3/4 stock. Wenge is pretty brittle not ideal for a small wedge, luckily they all worked but i had pieces splinter off as i drove them with a mallet. Also In my panicked glue up i smacked the wedges all the way home, but next time i'll try alternating the mallet strikes to try and achieve even exposed wedges.<br /><br />Tylermckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338448205297418118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151311815241629829.post-52983602406060279742012-04-16T17:48:13.544-07:002012-04-16T17:48:13.544-07:00what was your boo boo? looking at how you oriented...what was your boo boo? looking at how you oriented the wedges...i might have an idea thoughNick Brygidyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106095548772647316noreply@blogger.com
