Aligning the rail

The track works great.
The only problem is where the two rails come together.
The slide works great up to there and then it drags a little.
After the slide passes that area it good again.
If I add a little oil in that area it's all good.
If that's the only problem I have, I'm good with it

Board Moving

How do you keep a large but lite weight board from moving. I came close to ruining $500 worth of Black Walnut

Wedge clamps, made from scrap lumber work the best.

Take a scrap 1x or plywood and cut it in half at a gentle angle, 3 to 8 inches long. Flip so the hypotenuses/angled faces touch one another.

Use another piece of scrap at one end to create a hard stop. Slide the project up against it. Place another “surface” board and attach to the support table surface (used a longer 1x4 scrap in this photo) and affix one side of a wedge you cut to the surface board.

Second half of the wedge gets tapped in lightly to apply pressure on the project.
