Port stringer

After a week laid up with covid, it is time to push on. The port stringer is roughly cut to shape.

Outfitted with a new 12-tooth blade, the Festool TS-55 cut the LVL like butter. A set of guide blocks cut from scrap plywood was used to set the blade angle at each station to achieve the specified graduated bevel.

The 24’ LVLs are too long to be stored in the garage. Each stringer is returned to sawhorses aside the garage and covered with a tarp after working.
