Manufacture 2

After the frame has been built the timber slats need to be made. Due to the 25x50mm thickness of the timbers I needed to glue the timber I had sourced together and cut them to the required size.

After the timbers are removed from the clamps they are put through the thicknesser to get them to the correct thickness they were put through a number of times alternating the sides to get cleaner sides.
One of the other edges is run over edge of the buzzer to get a clean and square edge which is used with the ripper to get a good edge on the fence. The face which went through the rip saw is then put through the thicknesser to clean up the surface.
The timbers are then docked to the required lengths.
The saw is then set to the 1.6mm depth and the rebated tensions are then cut in the ends of the timbers 50mm from the edge.

Cheers to Pat for taking care of most of the timber process for me.

The timber was finished with Danish oil, this aided in sealing the timber and protecting from the environment.
