My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood

SHOP NOTES: If it hasn't happened yet, you will eventually have a project that requires the ripping of thin strips, and this super-simple jig/fixture (or is it a fixture/jig?) will not only make that task easy and accurate but best of all will be some of the safest cutting you've ever done. Perfect for Shopsmith and all other table saws.

I've created an Amazon list of many of the tools that I have found to be indispensable in my shop. http://a.co/0GLhuR2 You may have to click the "Filter" link to show the items in the list. I suggest sorting them by priority.

To illustrate the uses of wood strips I "borrowed" a couple pics from the interwebs, including this amazing canoe: https://imgur.com/a/95BPk and the beautiful Kayak shown in this build blog: http://cedarlattice.blogspot.com Be sure to check them out.
