This evening I had the help of my father to rip and scarf two chinelogs. From a 1x4 the finished size is smaller than the 19 x 45mm dimensions the plans call for. Hopefully the smaller size, 17mm x 43mm, will not present any problems in the future. Chinelogs ripped with a Matsushita 7.25" thin kerf blade on the table saw. Decided on W. Red Cedar instead of a Redwood 1x4 leftover from a previous project. Feared it too brittle and soft.
Chinelogs ripped, switched back to 10" blade to accommodate the homemade scarf sled.
Mixed epoxy and wood flour for the two 12:1 scarf joints.
