I’m trying to carve a piece that’s six feet long using easel. If i make guides on the side of my workpiece so that it feeds perfectly straight through the machine and I carve one section at a time, will I be able to do it in one project file or do I have to split it up into 3 diffrernt files? Has anyone ever tried something like this? thanks matt ---

Can you guys honestly think of a topic that hasn’t been discussed before? Maybe we should shut down the “forum” and turn this into a search site. > [@AngusMcleod](#): > > No angsty, passive-aggressive snark this time. Just me, doing your job for you. I get it. That other fella was actually a member when the tilted topic was discussed in 2015 & 2016. This guy is brand new and maybe didn’t know it was called tiling. I just barely learned about it myself. If you don’t have a better response than Search it yourself. Perhaps you need a snickers break. Your not yourself when your hungry. ---

> [@AngusMcleod](#): > > That other fella was discussing vertical/tilted machine mounting, not tiling. That would be why I said tilting jack ■■■. Maybe you should get your glasses checked. And a safe place isn’t what I need. You should back your attitude down just a notch. ---

A bleeding heart is far from what I am. As you come to Angusus defense. Double edged sword I guess. I’m just over every post being littered with the same weak ■■■ response. ---

Now that I look at it angus may be day drinking as well. His > [@AngusMcleod](#): > > No angsty, passive-aggressive snark this time. Just me, doing your job for you. Comment was definitely aimed at the other post. ---

🤣🤣🤣 Gotta say. I am considered a millennial and I find “MOST” of my generation fairly useless. And remember folks, thats not stereotyping, its profiling. 😁 ---

Ok back to what’s important. Yes. The search will give you much more information than I am able to type here but here goes. All you have to do is align your workpiece to some kind of stops on the y axis. Stop blocks, bump blocks, dowels, anything you have that will not let you workpiece move on the x axis. Your workpiece. Now you can slide you workpiece three four feet a hundred feet does not matter as long as it is supported. Each time you move your workpiece it is a new tile. Mark the xy point anyway that works so long as what you matches what’s in the computer. Each tile is almost like a new job. Good luck and let’s get back to carving. You search for more details
