RE: Finding Standoffs
Mark, that's a super idea. Thanks for telling us about it. I did measure and cut each standoff for correct length and 2 degrees of right thrust. By being able to remove the standoff assembly as a block, it would make the right thrust beveling even easier on a belt sander.
One thing that is really good about making wooden standoffs is you are not limited to commercial lengths. If you cut a piece wrong then just toss it and make another one.
