Looking good, now comes the "work" but it will be more enjoyable.

Keep the WIP coming.

This is the gizmo I was talking about. Its just a variation on common practice and commercially available, can make separate ones for L & R mitres or any angle if there is a lot to do.

I'll let the pics tell the story

Im looking at it Ray and thinking maybe a secondary fence with zero clearance at the blade.

Then you still have to change the fence every time you change the angle to maintain zero clearance and still set up a stop as well, screw/unscrew as well as having to remove the secondary fence when you go mobile with the saw. This is literally a 5 second swap around.

Well is been almost a year since my last post here and a lot has happened.
Snow, major eye problem requiring several major laser sessions (all good now, don't need glasses any more), bad back (thats the problem of having a young mindset trying to lift stuff that an old body cant), my nearest and dearest has had her ups and downs as well (now losing sight in her left eye but injections will keep it at bay for a while), so the budget has taken a severe hit.

Dave came for a week and helped fix the plasterboard and I have to say after 40+ years in the building trade I have never seen such a fantastic job as he has done, perfection is his second nature and 4+ sheets left over, unheard of.

Al and Anne dropped in for a couple of hours today, good to catch up again between GTG's.

Will post some pics when I get a chance.

Looking forward to pics

I didn't take any photos yesterday Dave, but I can certainly see where you have been. Good looking job, having the Gyprock in place really transforms all the construction work from a pile of framework into individual rooms.
Many thanks to Ray and his lovely wife for the afternoon tea and guided tour of the new mansion.

A bit of rain up there might slow the building work a tad, but it sure is dry up that way, with big cracks in the ground that would swallow any dropped tools.

Alan...
