: Hi Terry,
: Jeff's not cutting strips, like for a stripper, he's cutting
: stringers for a SOF, much thicker wood. Can certainly be done by
: hand but it's a fairly slow process if you're making lots of
: cuts.
: Bill H.
-Aha! The method is good up to the cutting width of the blade. My saw is small, only 7-1/4 (blades are cheap!) but it can handle a 4" cut. Dividing that by the scarf angle tells me the thickest strip I can scarf: 1/2" for 8:1. A bigger saw can do better, I wouldn't trust the method with a radial saw though. There's some pics ow at my blog http://theancientkayaker.weebly.com/tricks-of-the-trade.html
