I Had a Cunning Plan to Solve the Problem<\/em><\/p>\n

I tried my clever idea for using a router to plane a board to use as a router fence. The results were…interesting.<\/p>\n

I know this works, but you have to have some stuff I don’t have. You have to have clamps that are way lighter and shorter than mine, to hold the whole mess together while you run it over the router bit. And you really need some means of making a true edge on a board. I hate to say the “J” word, but I think you know what I mean. <\/p>\n

I can make a true edge on a board, using a table saw. IF I already have a straight board equipped with toggle clamps, to attach the first board to while I run it through the saw. I can make a true edge with a router, IF I can clamp a straightedge to the work and use a bearing. I can make a true edge on a board using a circular saw, IF I have something to guide it and I can get the saw set up at a perfect 90 degrees to the wood.<\/p>\n

Then I still have to plane it.<\/p>\n

The only jig I know of that allows you to plane (“thickness,” really) a board with a router requires you to have some pretty precisely cut wood to begin with. The upshot of all this is, if I already had a lot of this stuff, I could probably make some of this stuff.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the time has come to buy a piece of straight hardwood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
