Using Blinds to Find Workable Parts
|
|
|
|
GOAL: Learn to use "blinds," which are quick shop-made aids that can help you lay out and harvest portions of a board with similar or desirable grain patterns and direction.
Even though sections of a given board may contain knots, stains, short grain or other undesirable defects, you still might be able to harvest smaller usable workpieces from it. A "blind" can help you visualize the grain patterns and direction of an area contained within a larger board by framing in only as much material as you need to harvest and helping you visually exclude what you don't.
