SAWS AND SAWING

19. Ripping for Fan Strip* Place the board vertically 

 in the vise and carefully saw on each line, marking the divid- 

 ing line between two fan strips so that one-half of the kerf is 

 taken on each side of the line. The end of each of these cuts 

 must be square with the surface of the board, and must be ex- 

 actly on the pencil line which limits these cuts. 



All sawing on the board is now completed. Plane the two 

 tapered edges and the back of the board. 



To secure a definite thickness, the board may be gaged for 

 thickness on finished tapered edges be- 

 fore the back of the board is planed. 



Insert a stove bolt in each of the holes 

 bored, and fasten in position with a 

 washer under both the head of the bolt 

 and the nut. 



Plane the strip which was first sawed 

 from the edge of the board. Saw off 

 12-1/2 " of it, being certain that each end is square. With 

 try-square and sharp pencil, mark a center cross-line on 

 one edge of the strip. This line locates the center position 

 for the end of the middle fan strip. Similarly on this sup- 

 porting strip locate the center position for each of the 

 other fan strips. With this line at the center of the middle 

 fan strip and with trellis in natural position in the vise, nail 

 the strip to this middle fan strip at the center of its end with 

 two V brads, each about 3/16" from the outer surface of the 

 trellis (Fig. 39). 



Carefully bend each of the outside fan strips to its proper 

 position, and fasten it with two brads as in the case of the 

 middle fan strip. In like manner, fasten each of the other
