I couldn’t do without mine. Use it ALL the time.

Nice jig – lets see the FREE WOOD.

I love free wood.

This is a nice project, Ric. It is one that nearly all of us could utilize in our shops. I have been meaning to build one of these but just haven’t seemed to be able to work it in. I have the clamps, the mdf scrap board and could easily work up another piece for the straight edge but I simply have been procrastinating. Yours looks good and I certainly will use it as a motivational tool to get mine going- maybe in a few days. :)

Thanks guys. Especially the “Master” ;) Its been on my list of things I’d like to have since I saw it, and knew I had that beast of a crowned stick of Walnut since last summer. This definitely goes in the “on the cheap” series of builds. I’m thinking now, that the clamps actually cost me less than $2 on sale, so that makes this build even cheaper.

MrMark, Check out my Blogs, there’s a pic of the Walnut before it was cut down, somewhere in all the pics of the free wood I got that day.

The results of this cut down, will make a nice little keepsake box for a very dear lifelong friend visiting my family next month from Guatemala. Will post pics of the boards before they are cut any further, when I work on that project.

Very good, got one almost just like it.
