Jim Ern found this pattern in a magazine. This was an experiment. Wood is1X6 pine board. Since cutting pine can be problematic because of the grain I used this project to experiment with quite a few blades. The clear winner for me is the Pegas #7 Super Skip blade. It rips and cross cuts equally well and does not hang up because it does not discharge the sawdust quick enough. This was the first time using the blade.
