277425 Kevin Foley <kevin.foley.135@g...> 2023‑05‑26 A critical measurement: Re: Need to recover the plan for the circa 1999 Saw Till Galoot Group Project
First, that was 1999?  I am old — but I suspected as much.

Second,  When I built mine I had one decent board, and no cash for another.  It
was not quite long enough to make the till tall enough for the drawers below, so
only the saw till —  and only 10 1/2” wide.  Plans say 12”. Empirically I can
say that’s right.  It works but with a 10 1/2” width some of the bigger saws
that still have some meat left want to tip backwards.  If you’re thinking about
squeaking by with a narrow board….

Kevin in Chantilly…the one outside of D.C. not the one outside of Paris.
