Build a Tapering Jig

By Chris Baylor, About.com Guide

The first step of these free woodworking plans for a tapering jig is to cut two boards of equal length from your piece of stock. I find that 30-inches is about the right length for the two sides of the tapering jig, but if you want a longer or shorter tapering jig, you can adjust your lengths accordingly. Just make sure that both boards are the same length.
