Well, I'm really a rookie as far as fine woodworking goes. I'm well resigned to the fact that woodworking tallent is not something I have or am likely to acquire. Now with carpenter work, I'll hold my own. Any way, My plan is to substitute quality machinery and modern technology for the aforementioned lack of tallent.
As far as the machinery goes, for now I'm stuck with an old Craftsman tablesaw that was my dad's. It has pretty much sat in the shop at the farm for the last 30 years and has seen most use as a storage shelf or workbench. The tablesaw fence seems to be made of thin metal formed into an upside down "U". It's reinforced at both ends, but in the middle it seems to have gotten squeezed in somewhat, about 1/32" - 1/16". I decided to make a "fence" to attach to the metal fence that would give me the straight edge and sacrificial capabilities.
Wanting to play with the new jointer and planer and biscuit jointer, I made this last night.
The bow or squeeze in doesn't show up much in this picture....
