Not me, but thought I share. Nice resaw jig being used and shows technique. There's a humorous few minutes at the beginning of this video that most of us can relate to I think.

I like the resaw jig he made, and it gives me an excuse to buy some jig hardware. Couldn't find any at the big box ( the hardware clerk didn't know what T-track was - no surprise there ) . Got online and found a 129 piece hardware kit at Rockler on sale (web only) for 1/2 price! Really good deal @ $40, even including shipping.

GENE: The sidebar vids are also very good. I agree with you that his re-saw jig is a slick well thought out project in itself. I am not completely comfortable with the feature of the jig which allows for skewing the fence. I can see that there are some uses for the feature but I'm not fully understanding of the usefulness yet.

I don't think that's a designed "feature", but just the way T-track setups like this function with only 2 knobs. The fence I have on my drill press is the same way, which can be a pita occasionally. It wouldn't have any effect on drift, since that would be controlled by the miter slot as you push past the blade. Which might be something to consider. Possibly set up the base so that it can be adjusted for drift? I'll have to think on that.

Could be the fence kicks out for the same reason the narrow end of a log is cranked out when sawing with regular rigs. Though short pieces wouldn't normally have a lot of taper.

On pieces shorter than my chainsaw's bar I make a facing cut, perhaps run a plane if it's sloppy, then run freehand with the flat side down.

Seems to me after the first cut I would put the flat(just sawn) side down.

I have an old Delta 20" band saw that just might work for that. I bet the blade would cost some folding green though!

Great jig. I'm thinking about one similar, but thinking I'd like to add an adjusting stop to the BS Fence that would allow a quick adjustment of the jig fence and still keep the cuts parrallel.
