Although I'm doing OK with my latest project, I know I'm in the company of some talented and innovative folks. So maybe can make my job easier.
What I'm trying to do is level a prefabricated swing set for a grand daughter my son's in-laws bought. We are installing it in a shaded area but it's on a hill so I need to level it. I don't want to dig down as the swings are not that big. So I'm raising the front. I need to catch the brace half way down and keep it level. My solution is a 4X6 timber.
But I need to cut a tapered channel. The timber will be on the hill but the swing will be level in the channel. Does anybody have a solution to easily cut the deep tapered channel. What I'm doing is cutting with a hand saw to get a straight or level bottom - hogging out most of the waste with a drill - and smoothing it with a chisel.
