    I like that you use two boards, only making a small cut so you are not wasting a lot. I do have a question though, how can you insure a straight surface, if don’t have a jointer?

    Thanks. The safety videos are always a good thing to review. Your membership are mostly woodworkers, but I'm a woodcarver. Most of my time is spent with knives, gouges, and chisels. Because of that, your organization isn't a good fit for me.
