In Response To: Scarfing the shear clamps (Brian T. Cunningham)

What was it two years ago that [b]all[/b] references to url addresses were dropped in that column kinda sort sighted in my mind.

Anyways, back to the scarfs ...

I tried "stacking" two peices together and then cutting which worked great, except that I couldn't get a shallow enough angle due to the clamps, better off with the miter box!

Speaking of which I "layed up" a jig last night with a piece of "angle iron" ( actually wooden trip so I wouldn't ruin the blade when I hit it ) I said "laid up" since I took this as chance to check out that 2ton epoxy you see in home improvement stores. You know the stuff the looks like a double-barrel syringe. They way I can do _really_ small batches. This one was white & black, so it mixed up grey, so I wouldn't coat anything with the stuff. Looks like it will work out for hidden joints, or quick repairs for that matter. It sets up in 5 minutes!
