Woodworking Jigs - Make Your Own Featherboards

Cut the stock to a proper size
12" x 5" x 3/4" Stock

To begin making a featherboard, cut a clean piece of 3/4" stock (I prefer to use a scrap of 1x6, preferably from stock with less sap than pine) anywhere between 12-18" in length by 5-6" in width. In this example, we'll cut the stock down to 12" x 5" dimensions.
