Real Cheap wood strips

[xerox76]

Got way tired of buying wood strips for hulls and getting poor quality and over priced.

I took a pice of 1/2 by 1/2 stainless steel angle

expoxied an exacto blade to the one edge and run 3 inch wide pieces of balas through it to get perfectly straight 1/2 strips.


probally an old idea, but thought i would share it.

Pick yourself up the Balsa Stripper by Master Airscrew ($5.69 @ Towers) - uses the same, replaceable Exacto blade but is infinitely adjustable in the width of strips it cuts.
While your at it, pick up the Razor Plane, also by Master Airscrew. It costs the same $5.69 and is indispensible in the workshop.
