Default RE: How to make 1/4 triangular stock?

do u no what the bandsaw kerf is gonna do to a 1/4 piece of balsa? ur gonna have a 3/16 piece of balsa after that one... try this... take 2 pieces of right angle stock and glue them to a FLAT piece of ply so that they are opposite eachother |\/| like that and mount a razor blade FACING DOWN SO YOU DONT DICE YOURSELF UP!!! in the middle so now you have this |\|/| then run your stock through it... note, use sand paper to rough up the xacto blade then epozy to the jig so its VERY secure or your triangle stock will be nice and wavvy!

although ima bet that since you probably not buying your balsa in bulk... the odds are that its cheaper and easier to hand over pictures of dead guys to the dude at your LHS

blue is blade, yelow is ply,green is HARD balsa
