Now push the board alongon the top of the table up against the saw,watching carefully to see that the end is aperfect lit against this steel this way you can cut up a whole board andhave the pieces exactly of the same woe betide you if you are so careless asto leave a crack on either edge, even if it benot more than a hair in thickness. You see,we want the boards so accurate that wherethere are two stood up together on a smoothsurface, neither eye nor finger can detectany difference in the length. In makingframes for the hives, this is a most importantmatter; indeed, I have had nothing in thewhole department of hive-making that hascaused me so much trouble as this matter ofgetting hands who would cut stuff perfectlyuccurate. ^Nlany times I could have criedabout it (if you will excuse a little exagger-ation), had I thought it would do any good. No. 1,. A SAAV-TA15LE YOK CUTTING OFF STUFF. We are now ready to consider what maybe done by the use of machinery, for en-abling even unskillful hands, or, i)erhaps,hands who have never been shown the im-portance of accuracy in mechanical work, &othat they may do work and be exact. When6 at the Exposition at Cincinnati, once, Isaw some beautiful iron tables having a pairof saws. These saws could be adjusted atany required distance from each other ; andto cut off the board it was pushed againstthe saws while moving on a carriage of , you will see, made it next to impossi-ble to have boards cut either too short or toolong; but the two cuts every time, made asmall waste of lumber.
