What jig/tool would do this?
Preferably portable
I want to just build like in minecraft

Part of the problem is that this is fairly easy to do with a table saw or even a good band saw, but by your own admission you know nothing of these potentially dangerous tools. You think I want to be the guy that lays out exactly how to build a jig for a table saw just so you can go try it and lose 4-6 fingers in the process? Take what you've been given (table saw jig, etc.) and go Google up some YouTubery and see for yourself. At least then when you possibly get maimed it's not our fault. This isn't hard to figure out, I promise.

New anon here.

Google search something like "home made table saw jig" or "home made band saw jig" or, like,"wooden adjustable table saw guides".

I learned through google searching things and now I make my own apiary equipment, have remodeled/flipped three houses with extensive reframing/plumbing/wiring/HVAC and have 9.96 fingers left (that was a deli slicer that took the 0.04). I did not apprentice or directly ask for help from anybody, I watched videos/read sites/looked at photos.

Think of it this way: wooden blocks are just small planks. So maybe "how to make planks on table saw" would apply to your situation? Look at their table saw and find similar ones online.

The problem is I don’t know the basic terms, all the YouTube videos I have watched don’t show me exactly what I need to make... no ones really trying to create planks with a table saw
The use of a log round for example is under represented enough already let alone “wood bricks”
It’s the sort of question only a human reader can awnser

>> No.1858973

>>1858955
Current method chop tree down “chainsaw”, cut into log rounds ”chainsaw”, shape log rounds roughly into bricks “small hatchet and mallet”, dip in wood glue, place them reminiscent of bricklaying,
This results in them being sealed and I haven’t been able to break them apart even with a sledge hammer so I figure it’s strong enough for a wall of a cabin
The problem is they aren’t flush... and I need about 3000-4000 of them for my cabin build

>> No.1858990

>>1858973
with the format of your wood and the tools you already have, I would recommend an Alaskan Lumber Mill to turn your logs to boards. Then using your newly milled boards, build a chainsaw sized cutting jig you can fit multiple boards into. Bonus points for a fence they butt up against. Then cut.

>> No.1859017

>>1858990
Now that is an Answer, the only thing missing is a way to make them flush or square whatever the terminology is
My prior method was a portable vice and a chainsaw resting on it... and even with that flat surface guiding the wood it still was uneven

What I’m going for is seamless
Parts of the cuts I have made so far are close to seamless and from trying to break it apart it’s crazy strong where endgrain glue impregnated wood is seamlessly together
That and it’s overlapped makes me feel like I’m onto something extraordinary
Would be totally fine if it takes me 12 hrs a day for a month to make all said bricks if they are pyramid tier seamless

you just need to use a pusher to run the rest of the sides of the brick through the table saw and then each side will be square to each other.

>> No.1859054

>>1858918
Table saw can do this easily. If you rip one side of a round, for exAmple, you now have a reference surface to cut the opposite side. To do the other sides perpendicular, use a square block up against the guide and hold your one of newly cut surface against it. You now have the perpendicular edges. Repeat for the last to surfacds

I think you need a therapist more than wooden bricks

you've come onto the internet and verbal diarrhoea'd your whole childhood at some random strangers because you asked a really vague question and started aggressively blaming your complete unwillingness to even attempt to learn something without being spoonfed every detail on everyone who tried to answer it because they've not jumped out through the screen to become your weird idea of a father figure for you

I can't get over the fact that you complained about people drip feeding info when you let the thread get fucking like 20 posts in before telling anyone your "limitless wood" is in the form of literal entire fucking trees. Fuck damn man even if you really expect to be spoonfed the entire discipline of woodworking do you really need to be spoonfed the process of asking a reasonable fucking question?

I can't figure out if you're actually genuinely fucking retarded or you're just hell bent on refusing to put the tiniest amount of fucking thought into this because you think you wouldn't have had to if you'd had a father

Lrn2square. Use tape correctly, and get a proper steel precision handsaw. You should get within 1mm of desired depths and other stuff. Then use filler in any imperfections in the joints, and sand down to the desired height. Proceed to stain and seal step.

Stolen from the vault.

The table saw has an adjustable angle of cut. The fence can be measured parallel to the blade. 2 right edge after the cut

Repeat across other dimensions as curiosity dictates. Carpentry is a brainlet teir skill. Just make sure you never have even a chance to cut your flesh. Best way is with a sacrificial limb. Looks like a long letter y.

Google the Alaskan mill. Chainsaw with a guide board for taking planks from logs. A string line can confirm how the wood bends, and allow you to get the straightest planks. Planing is how you achieve final planarity.

Only /diy can't explain how studs get cut and show up at the store. Like their old ladies they must think it's magic, like groceries. Guess it's why it's not called /pro.

If you're smart about it you'd setup 2 or more shafts and rotate the piece as it conveys, using guides, cutting it into your desired, squared profile. Then figure out how to cut them to length.
Maybe if you watch YouTube instead of doing the Grandpa Simpson bit on 4chan, you'd learn something. Try a sawmill video. YouTube can be your friend.

>>1859539
I don't agree with your notion that those bricks are superior for much more than decoration, or at the very least, specific applications that don't require alot of force, and that's if the material is properly prepared. Look up how laminate beams are made and what they are used for and you'll see how dumb it is to use wood bricks for structural members like roofs or even walls. The floor thing doesn't make much sense either but it really depends on the economics of it. I'd never pay for it. Quite frankly in a house or cottage, that to me would be a hazard. And besides compression, those little bricks aren't good for shit if cut like your OP. One screw and it splits, should you choose the wrong side. The op pic is retarded. The bricks should of been cut a different way.

I really recommend you go watch some vids on how lumber is made before you make your own. Even the notion that you wish to seal this wet material, in epoxy no less, before drying it shows you're woefully unprepared for this. From studying this process you can develop your own system to achieve your dreams, but I assure you it will be modified from what you described. Failure is a great teacher. Structural failure is usually unforgiving.

When you show up as you did in your OP, you only poured chum in the water. Go watch some videos and come back with intelligent questions or you're just gonna get fucked with.

When it comes to their strength... well the glue/epoxy is connecting endgrain to endgrain and the fibres are facing the way nature intended UP the glue acts as it’s sealant and keeps it compressed like growth rings in a tree
They used to floor machine part factories with this style of wood I’m pretty sure my 7x10 cabin isn’t nearly as heavy as equipment and stock
that’s not taking into consideration that the weight is only what is above it shared with its neighbour ect ect
The same thing that gives brickwork it’s strength is at work here the structure is just placed on the foundation Just like brickwork
I’m up against two things bucking the status quo and missing “work experience”
