Sounds like a song title. Maybe Paul can play it for us on his banjo!

Thought that too when I first saw the post title!

I found this screen shot picture I took sometime from Brads site. Was this your set-up, or does it belong to someone else?

no, but looks good, would make it longer so to fit blades before removal for consistency... in sections, 6' radius for 12' mill?

This last pic was something I came up with for a couple Monitor L's I was working on. It works good....but nothing new or novel. Same principle as most non radial saw fixtures.

rocar, if you are willing would you consider posting more info on your jig?

Gregg, I can give you a concept overview. Terry Jantzen gave me a well weathered and mostly complete original section to reverse engineer from and without it I would have had a tough time. I had six spokes so obviously need to cover 60 degrees per segment. One obstacle was to get the desired cut depth and angle.... which I forgot and have to check. One of my saws laid over 50 degrees which wasn't sufficient so had to ride on a riser in the sled to reach correct degree. I have another set to make soon so that will refresh my memory.

Took a bit to figure out spacing as the original sail section was all over the place as far as consistent measurement between cuts. So I used the original sail section to locate rail position only and figured equidistant cut spacing. I index each cut with a pin as seen in earlier pic.
