Re: How to convert a broken canned chair with an upholstered one

My daughter has six straight backed chairs with fully canned seats (half of them have serious cane damage). The cane weave is wrapped around the full seat's four rounded sides (about an inch in diameter). T...

Re: 30 degree bevel cut on table saw (narrow stock)

Thank you Ed, algate and charlese. My saw guard has been a little beat up over the years and with a some pressure I got it to close tighter.

There seems to be two issues I am definitely getting interference from the lower saw guard and I need the blade height to be about a 1/4" higher but it won't go any higher. The clamps are there only to support the piece while I am setting it up for the cut.

Advice needed for cutting slots on a Dominos tray
