To help stir the energy there, as well as pushing myself to post more - I'll be starting my "Tip -10" plan.
Which means I'll be coming up with a tip (or jig) to BC forum users every 10 days ( a week is just too short) regarding the JMP (for both v1 & v2 versions), & at times the combination of other BC tools - that I'll commit myself to. A little deadline every so often never hurts and would clear any cobwebs forming in my brain. I'll start with a 3 month test and see how it goes.
I'll start the "Tip-10" posts with the subject of . . .
"What the hell am I gonna do with the old tables/ways after I order the upgrade rails?".
The first post is my first crude test version - to see using two tables working on the original ways,
(in an upcoming version I would use the threaded holes on the tables to join them together)
Personally, I feel fortunate that I ordered the v! version when I did - creatively it just seems to give one more options when combining multiple tables.
I will be posting more tips on the subject at the next 10 day mark.
cheers,

Tip-10 #1 . . .
JMPv1- 2 table set-up for cutting shallow & irregular long rips
(with the 3 rd table option - the upgraded rail/table could be used here with the table clamped to the rail on the outside so it doesn't move)
Keep in mind I also have a four table jig coming up in my next "Tip-10" post, one could get extra tables by the small market that will ensue on the trading corner on BCTW forum by those that feel they don't want the extra tables after getting the upgrades.

1. essentially using the two left tables for a thin rip cut, one could flip around the right table and join them on one side.

2. here I'm using the block on the right table as a stop, to first trim test piece. (I'll be jumping to the angled cut below)

3. the cut piece next to the ruler .......15 1/4 inches

4. setting up for a non parallel cut, I'm using the clamp as a handle.

5. the cut

6. down the line I could envision one long clamp block with slots.

7. So, this could be the start of a backgammon set!
Coming up in 10 days,
Tip-10 #2 Using the 4 table set up.
