So, next time....I get the edges jointed up, and maybe even glue the panel for the table top up..
Stay tuned
Saw was working good..nice long, easy strokes...7ppi cuts nicely....all I'm after is to get 4 blanks ready for a table to...

Will need to be jointed for better glue joints....was also trying to align the grain, a bit..
