How to details in an 80 page PDF with over 60 pictures and step by step instructions here: http://sites.google.com/site/garden-railroad/Home/concrete-scenery Simple technique, easy to do (even I can do it), cheap materials. Hope this helps. Best, TJ Lee
> by cutting one side higher then the other etc..... Not the best pic but it was handy. I saw mine at different heights from each side and then break the last bit by hand to create the splintery part where the tree would have snapped under its own weight. Hope that gives you some ideas. Best, TJ

Toad, > TJ, let me see that knife, what # is it? No. 1 knife with No. 11 blade. Be carefull. But I've done a dozen barrels so far and still have all my fingers <g>. > I do have another question for you. What is that orange RR vechile to the left of the barrel in the background???? Picked up this old and used LGB diesel set for $50 bucks (US). No idea what I'll do with it so far.

The cut rate (no pun intended) Hitachi cheapie "work site" table saw has a recessed throat plate with a tab that hooks on the far end and recessed screw on the near end. So far, engineering my own plate has eluded me. I have worked around the problem with a brute force kludge. I set my fence, lower the blade and then place a thin piece of ply on the table, then clamp it to the
If your purpose is for cutting wood for trestles and modeling and the like consider a saw for which you can get a zero clearance throat plate so you have no spacing around the saw blade when you are trying to cut wood smaller than 5/8ths. I did not know about this when I bought my table saw (under $200) and have really regretted it. Best, TJ
Steven, You might get some ideas from this PDF: http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/tj-lee/ See the Trains - Building Scenery - Trestles Rev 11-09-2006.pdf Best, TJ
