krazyderek Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 do they have woodshop at your school? try asking the teacher if you can come in after school. or try and get in the class. If you have the design layed (drawn with center line, to scale, with all the details, and the wood you want to use (ie: you're organized and prepared) most shop teachers are happy to help you along.

Dr. Jabsco Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 well, you could use a rip saw and rough it out by hand, and smooth it up with looots of sanding and elbow greese. you should really consider at least a jigsaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Some wood stores also offer "milling services" - where they will thickness wood for you, cut it, whatever. That is one option. Look in the phone book under Lumber etc. Another option would be to call cabinet shops and see if they would cut it out for you on the bandsaw. Make sure that you have them cut a little outside the line and sand it smooth. If they mess up for some reason by cutting too close to your line they probably aren't going to buy you a new piece of wood. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
