Advise needed

I will attempt to do so by Monday or Tueday. I saw the hole and wondered. Then a thought crossed my mind. If I took the splitter base anchor plate off.. lined up the splitter and tightened the quick release.. I would just drill a hole for a pin so that in case of kick-back where stock launched up and imparted the Crown guard (the wooden thingy you see mounted top-side).. the pin would keep the splitter base from riding up the anchor bolt and coming off.

I haven't physically done it yet but intend to pick up a pin to-nite when I take my wife out to dinner. Lowe's near-by and I think I saw the stainless pins with O rings attached there. Could have been Ace Hardware though. Anyhooooo.... I just though it would be an added safety catch and thought I would mention it to you in case you might want to in-corporate the idea on your current set-up.

I will keep you posted here or either e-mail as I do believe I filed yours in my personal box or whatever you call those file thingies using e-mail. Fortunately my wife is retired MIS so I have to ask as I am a computer dummy for sure and dummy period could be argued before a jury of 12.

Let you know what happens....
Regards..

How big a piece of the white do you need? ebay often has holly cut-offs at reasonable prices. Cook has a couple of pieces of Holly that are about 60% white. [2 3/8" X 21" & 3 11/16" X 11 3/4"]

I have a small box of 6" cut-offs that I got on ebay. If a couple of little pieces would work, let me know.

Personally I'd stick with the Ash if you want a white wood. Maple is is lighter when you're working it, but turns much more golden colored with exposure to sunlight. I think ash changes color less over time and in the end will be whiter than maple.

I apprecieate the offer

"I have a small box of 6" cut-offs that I got on ebay. If a couple of little pieces would work, let me know."


Thanks for the offer, but if I was to do it, I'd need about 7 square feet of
1/4" material.
You can see why I'm trying to find something different.
Haven't maid up my mind yet, guess I'll have to go shopping and pick and chose.
Good thing I got awhile till I need it. I just started working on the prototype this weekend trying to find all the kinks. Took all weekend (to hot to work at times) to route and inlay 14 pieces. I probably need about 80 just for the eagle alone.
I think I might be at it for awhile.
