Thanks Chuck. On the side have you found any run out when you use your table saw hybrid at an angle to give the wood strips the bevel. Not sure I am describing the issue properly but I found that cutting at say 45 degree the angle was not consistent from one side of the blade to the other even though the blade in 90degree was true to the mitre slot.
I thought I had cleared up this issue on my saw when i set it up but after a cut yesterday I still think it is there.
Just wondered how much your dewalt has this issue or what you do to keep the cut same angle along a whole length of wood.
Would figure thats important when you are making the colums you are.
They do not work if the pieces are any bigger. I know I did a three piece set (three pieces to make one of the 8 sides) it came out an 1/8" bigger than the one piece. It just was not happening with the jig so I had to put the straps on it. If they where smaller you could wedge them if you wanted.
The one thing that I have found that I really like is that you can assemble as you apply the glue. Glue the piece set it in the bottom half. Do the next one and set it in. With the straps you would have to glue up all the pieces then assemble. Holding all eight of them together (even with tape) and getting the strap on is a bit of a pain.
As for what I am doing with them Paul for now stacking them up like cord wood. Later I will turn them and there will be pic.
