I had this piece of purple hardwood.
It's just about right for the butterfly.
Will cut it to about 3 inches long.
Also scribed a line on the end that the butterfly will go.
Will trim the board to the line on the table saw...
This line gives me an idea of where the board will end so as to gauge how large the butterfly should be and where it might go.
Using the chop saw to cut the butterfly piece to size.
I attached the shop vacuum directly to the saw to minimize the amount of sawdust...
The shop vac (Fein brand) sits about 6 feet away from the chop saw.
The hose is long enough to reach.
First, I need to make a clean end cut...
Then, cut to length.
The wood is very hard so had to go slow with the saw...
Laying out the butterfly shape on the piece...
The butterfly piece is about 1/3 the thickness of the bench, which should be about right...
