Alternative Method For Prepping Headstock Overlay


Recommended Posts

... well, basically. I cut off a thin slice and set up a dado blade for my radial arm saw to trim it close to flat. I then used my sanding plate to smooth both parts in preparation for cutting another slab. Here are pics...

The slice is 4x8x1/8 inches.

I have a small band saw, but it is really too small and light duty for this. I tried it and it necessitated this technique to save the piece. I am going to make a guide for a good, old-fashioned hand saw to do the first cut and then use the dado/plate sander to smooth it out.
