: Right, I built a scarf board using 3/4" plywood at about 7 degrees like
: Vaclav shows in manual. I made mine 54" wide so I could do a full
: size sheet, but you really only need 30" or so for a 2' wide, at
: least for this project. I have done scarf joints before with different
: setups, this was the easiest jig I have found to use.
: I taped both sides with clear packing tape before glueing and it worked
: pretty well, I was not able to see my mark the first time so missed the
: allignment some and the joint is a little thick on that one. You can use
: the scarf jig to glue also.
Just glad to hear you liked the scarfing jig that Vaclav came up with. From the start, it looked like a great idea to me. With any luck I'll have my panels scarfed by the end of the week. One question, what good does this jig have for glueing the panels together? Is it just the clamping of the sheets, or some other benefit that I don't see? Isn't the jig placed at the end of your work bench for the scarf cut, then you glue the panels together closer to the middle of your bench? Sorry for the stupid question, it's been a long day, I think I'm ready to go home now.
