Don’t want to tack a nail on your bench to plane a thin stock?
Tip as featured in American Woodworker. Easy to make with scrap materials:
-Discarded credit cards
-11/16” to 3/4” dia. dowels depending on your workbench holes
The depth of the stop can be adjusted by inserting more cards.

Another good reason to cut the credit cards in half. Cool.

Somebody needs to come up with a “Wood Working For Dummies” book and insert tips about credit card uses like this one, I know I can use all help given on Lumber Jocks.

That looks like a good tip Chuck. I usually just use a little carpet tape to fasten thin pieces to a board held between my bench dogs which works well too, but there are usually many ways good ways to do the same thing.
