I have a table saw with a 32" right had table. That works if my peice to be cut to length is shorter than 32" . If I am cutting something 36" I can use my chop saw but that is not accurate unless you have a stop. I can use my band saw but again that can be trouble some. How do you accuratly cross cut to the final length when the length is longer that your normal tools. Because this is a stand I need 4 peices the exact same length 32 1/2" and 4 other peices the same length 36". Any advise would be highly appreciated.

I was watching one of the backwoods cabin builders shows and they cut their lumber out of the available trees on their land. That included planks and 6x6" and long timbers. It was interesting, however they did NOT dry the wood. It would take a very long time to dry those timbers. Did I miss the drying part or do they build them with green wood?

I recently made a thread cabinet for a sewing friend of mine. The spools were to be placed over dowels to keep the thread spools in order. I needed 168 four inch dowels. Decided I need 20 four foot dowels to come up with the number needed. Couldn't see myself making 168 cuts so I came up with a plan to wrap them all together with some plastic stretch wrap and give that a whirl. Marked off the a dowel every four inches and wrapped the dowels together in between the marks stretching the plastic nice and tight and put them through the table saw. Worked nicely. Got them all cut quickly and smoothly.
