Tony I can make out the Badge on the Yates American one as a G89, its not coming up in my first edition catalog for them so it must be a later machine.
The other saw I am not sure of, at first I thought Tannewitz but now I'm not too sure ...

No problem. I'm stuck inside by weather, need something distracting to do.

Thanks Rob you have gone to some trouble , I have been having a bit of a look through and was thinking how I'd seen a lot of this before, then a gem turns up . I haven't seen this described before . using a parallel rule to help set out a cut for Oblique cutting.

I have to cut this way once every year roughly, and I work it out by trial and error on scrap, it takes three or four goes to get it right that way . Its a technique that comes in handy for the making of cornice mouldings, mainly the Victorian period Cyma Recta or reversa ones that go missing from the tops of Victorian book cases, in Mahogany or Red Cedar.
Because of the size they were made in that period [ Big ] there is a fair amount of wood to remove, Georgian ones are a of a much smaller size. The waste is taken out and the rest is done with Moulding planes , hollows and rounds.

I will have to try out the method described.

Thanks for your comments guys. I believe that websites like this one are best when they provide information that is useful to all. I think posts that are informative and give details of processes and procedures are much more useful than are posts that simply show finished products. Finished product posts are nice in that you can admire the works of others but they really don't help you learn anything.

Cheers,
Rob
