🔥 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?) which I've affectionally named "Jack the Stripper" will not only make that task easy and accurate, but best of all, will be some of the safest cutting you've ever done. While I'm demonstrating it on a Shopsmith, it's perfect for use on all table saws.

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.
