Or you run it through the table saw thinking it's scrap. Done that more than once.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.

Jeez, I did that on my final panel of the last T39 to make braces.

I used a nice piece of birch ply for something unimportant. It was different width from the remaining stack of ply pieces that I intended to use for a second T18. Should have noted that the piece that I cut was intended for the sides :slap: :bash: :cussing: No more decent quality birch ply available in my area at this time, yet another self- :slap:

I thought I was the only one.

Great idea, I have some scraps and would like to make these.

How big are they? Estimating from the pictures, are they about 12" long? (the sides where the c clamps attach to)

Or should I go bigger?

I have two pairs of different sizes....one about 8 inches and another around 10 inches. Make a bunch in different sizes.

4 - OT12 2512
1 - T24
1 - SLA Pro
2 - XF210

That's where a flouresecent pink spray paint can comes in handy :mrgreen:
