American Woodworker had one a year or two ago. I adapted the ideas to
my
LT16SEC. Here's link to some pictures of mine. Works! Note the 1/16th
inch
strip off a 16 inch long by 5 or 6 inch wide piece of cherry.ust resawed
some Bear Clawed Grain stuff for door panels

The original article and illustrations had some key pieces of
information
missing and several people e-mailed me for clarification. Put this page
together and seems to fill in the holes in the original diagrams in the
AWWing article.

The bottom pair of photos on this page are some of the resawn
panels of some Bear Clawed grained stuff for door panels
(all one line)

If this is looks like what you have in mind and you have any questions
feel free to ask away.

So, you're looking for a project not a fence. A fence is a plywood "L" and
two clamps. A resaw fence is a pivot "L" and one clamp.

Look at the gizmo-loaded plywood jobs in the Rockler catalog. Oughtta keep
you busy for a while.

I use the FastTrack fence w/ the resaw guide. I like the fence, though
I'm lukewarm so far on the resaw guide. So far in my (admittedly
limited) experience, I can resaw more easily "freehand" than with the
guide. But it's possible I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet.
Overall though it was a good purchase and a useful upgrade to my
bandsaw.
