I'd love to see homemade guide rails. How do you guys keep the rails on tight for the first cut? i'd love to see pictures or hear a description of what some of u all have rigged up...preferably something simple and easy to build that makes me slap myself on the forehead and say, "Now why didn't i think of that?!"
I have various sizes of guide rails i made from rectagular stock; it's like channel but with the fourth side. it is very rigid and doesn't bend; it stays very straght. i have two pieces of steel welded between them on each end that i nail into both ends of the logs. no matter how much i nail it in, it still wiggles a little and i don't get completely flat lumber. help! thanks! -nick
