The only reason Pete used the heavy gage is because at the time we could not get the lighter stuff at are local Home Depot and were in process of building pattern planes. Believe me the next jigs will be with the lighter stuff. Pete did one hell of a job building this jig for me everything is true. I will be building his Black Magic here shortly. Mike I had Pete build the jig so It would except 40% to pattern planes.
