The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #IX.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Feeling a bit better today, still going to take it easy. Built a jig yesterday to make my log notches, still can't get any consistency and most break off or split, others notches are not perpendicular to the faced sides, so back to the drawing board.  

Don since you should have plenty of material try leaving them long and then cut your noch like 1/2 to 3/4 inch back from the end , if this works then carful trim to length .

I've tried that with little success, got splinters and splits. Building a jig that will allow me to get my notches perpendicular to the sides and parallel to each other and should allow me to do this with the log firmly in place. But, one thing I haven't tried yet is to dip the ends in CA before I start cutting. Guess what my next attempt is going to be....
