Let's Get Started! The above is the 10” bench type table saw that I used to rip the side sill beams, centre beam sills and end beams. Use feather sticks to guide the stock through to cutting blade. The above is the small bench band saw I use to rip the smaller sized lumber lengths.
The digital calipers are one of the best modelling tool investments that I have made over the years. They're great for marking out repetitive measurements and checking lumber sizes. Gentlemen Start Your Saws! Once side sills have been cut to length, mark out area to be checked out and using the band saw, make a parallel cut to the line, 7mm from the end - as shown, using the preset guide fence to cut both ends of both left and right side sills. Remove saw fence and crosscut saw remaining cuts to remove cheek, using the saws mitre 'T' guide for accurate square cuts. If not using a band saw, these two cuts can be made with a fine tooth handsaw or razor saw, making sure that the cuts are square. The flatcar end beams will be located in these side sill checks. Cut the 115.5x10x7 end beams from your stock timber.
