We started the week by creating a new piece of equipment, this time, a plank slicing station down in our Great Room, using our large chop saw and a length of 63mm CLS timber and two pieces of plywood strips to build a long 4.8metre long straight channel. The chop saw was placed about three quarters the way along towards the right hand end so we can put a end block clamped to the CLS fence and we then can consistently chop up many planks into the same length. To aid in measuring planks we attached a 3m measuring tape to the top of the CLS.

We also sub-divided the space underneath into shelves so we had loads more storage space for various building materials and pieces of equipment.
