The Unconscious is structured like a Language. Lacan borrows some ideas of linguistics that Freud did not have access to. As we have seen, Saussure showed that a sign is not necessarily something that connects a word or name to a thing, but is in fact something which connects a sound or image to a concept. The sound or image is called a signifier.
The rift sawn rip cuts are perpendicular to the center of the log. In woodworking, a rip-cut is to sever or divide a piece of wood parallel to the grain. The other typical type of cut is a cross-cut, a cut perpendicular to the grain. Unlike cross-cutting, which shears the wood fibers, a rip saw works more like a series of chisels, lifting off small splinters of wood.
The tile will break along the line. Use the tile saw to cut the tile and leave behind a smoother edge: Line up the blade on the saw with the outside of the line and cut. The outside of the line is the part of the tile you are cutting away. A tile saw also works best for L shaped cuts. First mark the tile, using your measurements, and then cut along the outside of the lines.
