No respect for for the line...
Hi all,
This has always bothered me (anal as I am). Whenever I trace/draw a pencil line on a piece to be cut, I never have confidence in it. If I am doing (say) crown moulding, I will hold a piece up there and mark a line. I never/seldom actually believe in the line I just marked - I will allow an extra 1/4. It is never correct. Then I step down off of the 8 ft ladder and cut again. Now it's only 3/32 off. Down again, back to the MS to trim "a hair". Still doesn't fit right. OK, another hair...then another.... It's kind of funny every time I think about it. Next time, I use a sharper pencil. I "mark" the line, but I don't "respect" the line (I know it's a Seinfeld thing). I've been a hobbyist for near 20 years now. Still no respect for the line. Maybe its time for a marking knife...but will I respect that any more? Thank the Lord I don't have to do this for a living!

Challenge yourself to make every saw kerf remove just the waste side of the mark - it's possible, but not as easy as it sounds (pencil lines and laser guides will suddenly look fat and crude). Don't buy one of the Lee Valley French-made ebony-handled marking knives! I bought one and it's absolutely useless. It's so beautiful that I just can't bring myself to actually use it - I use my old pocket knife instead. FWIW, being AR might be an asset when your goal is a fine, exact fit. -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/solar.html |

Lou, Your sage is not uncommon for someone who does it for a living. I used to do finish work for a living and understand exactly what you are going through. Even more so with crown moldings as they are expensive and joints should not be a option if you cut short. As of late I have been using a carbide pointed pen. Little harder to see, but a lot thinner line. Learned this from the metal workers, who deal in a lot higher precession. If not that, a mechanical pencil will work just as well. Lot easier to sharpen too. -- Chris If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it is in English, thank a soldier. If it is in ebonics, thank your Congressman. |

Well at least you don't cut too much off.

I'm always game for a new toy, but other than a rotating laser level to install a counter, cabinets or wainscoting, I have found lasers on mitre saws a complete waste of time. The lighter the colour of the wood, the fatter the line. Useless. I always have a proper Staedtler pencil sharpener in my pocket. I use 2H pencils to mark my line and I get good results. I only go up and down that ladder 2 or 3 times, as opposed to the usual 6 or 7. When the weather cools off, I sometimes use a mechanical pencil as I then have a pocket for it. In summer, the lighter wooden pencil lives on my ear. So much so, that when I'm on the phone, and somebody wants to leave me a number, I reach for my ear...even though there may not be a pencil there...much to the entertainment of my daughter. |

Be bold. Be daring.
Next time you have some cheap little trim piece to cut mark a pencil line and learn to split the line with the saw blade. Cut on the waste side for best results. Once you have been successful once , the next time it is easier. |

I'm with Robatoy. I use #2 pencils all the time for just about
everything. They are so cheap at the dollar store and when the back to school sales go on that I stock up. They have to be wood; NO plastic or composite. Must be #2, and I like the round ones when I can find them but 'ol yeller works fine. I keep a small pen knife that is razor sharp (aka: splinter removal tool) for sharpening my pencils. If I need something hair fine, I put that point on the pencil and usually get two marks out of it before resharpening. Who cares if you burn a pencil or two a day? I sounds like you just need more consistent practice and you will be fine cutting your marks. Robert |

Their music still appeals to me. CCR, on the other hand, is a different story. Not their fault. But so many really bad bar-bands butchered Proud Mary etc., that I couldn't even stand the opening chord of any CCR after a while. A total burn-out. Besides, my head made a left turn in there somewhere and started listening to The Doors, Hendrix, Who.... that kinda stuff. Now back to our regular programming. |

I always called them "The Arpeggios from Hell" but was regularly corrected. Some Italian guy from the 17th century or so... If you even hear them back to back, your chin will drop.

No ****? Whooda thunkit? But yeah, some of them are surprising. Oh, and Yngwie is in there... Anyone remember the guitar exercises I'm trying to think of the name for? |
