Pikies sit unlevel
Interesting....I cut my lip slots with the block ends still on. Line them up on a fence and get nice cuts. This method seems to work well. I've never noticed any problems doing it that way with Danny's. Now that I'm doing it with Pikies my bodies are sitting off center in the water. Must be the grain huh? With Danny's the slight grain difference was probably masked by the weight in the belly.
I can correct the few that aren't sitting right by offsetting my nose wieght abit. For the future I guess I'll either have to do it after I orient the wood in water. OR...round my ends so that I can pick where I want the grain to be when I run it into the bandsaw.
It feels like I learn something everytime I make a plug.
Anyone else notice this when making Pikies?
