This is a bit similar to what they recommend for the 3-D pantograph with router for holding the wood to make signs. Yours is better with the adjusting ability using the holes. I’ve been needing multiple different width spacers the other way.

I like it… thanks for posting the link and your pics.

Hi George, thanks for sharing that idea. Well done.

Did you ever figure out the wood species you posted a few days ago? I thought the SA in your moniker meant San Antonio. I’m Texas-centric. I though it looked like an ironwood species, maybe a mesquite. Just wondering.

Hi David
I also thought about ironwood from the looks of it. I did a float test and it floated. If I remember correctly ironwood doesn’t float, so that rules that out. Also I am not sure how readily available ironwood would be in South Africa. Also the fence comes from more than 50 years ago and it is quite difficult to determine what types of wood was available here at that stage.

The best that I can determine from my internet research is a type of rosewood, but can’t really decide which type. It is difficult to do a color match due to the lighting effects with the photos. In the mean time the piece that I posted the photos of is on my desk as a paper weight. That was the top of the fence post that I cut off to see what it looked like. I am still toying with ideas of what to make from it. I haven’t started cutting it yet because my table saw has developed a wobble in the blade that I have to sort out. The wobble causes quite a rough cut. With the hardness of the wood I want the cuts to be as smooth as possible to minimize the sanding afterwards.

The SA is a tag I added a few years back when I started chatting on the internet forums. It actually stand for George from South Africa :-) I am a Louis LaMour fan and would like to visit the US at some stage, but traveling there from SA is quite expensive.

Thank you. It makes me think, “How many other applications does this procedure have?”
