I have no cat in the fight, I am past trying to mcguyver things that have easy solutions like this. Cant get a riserblock, and need more resaw, buy a BS dedicated for RS, like I did.
10 years ago, I would have fooled with it though.
I built two out of wood
the first one failed pretty badly
The spine twisted after 6 yrs to an unworkable condition
the second one was better but the one thing I did learn was the spine is what failed
so the second one I built around a piece of heavy wall steel tube poured full of concrete and then laminated wood around that
That one has survived going on 25 yrs now (not in my shop but a friends now) He does not put much to it just an occasional resaw of softwood
Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy
