Strip Angle Plane Fixture *Pic*

While I am waiting for a glued strip to dry, I thought I would post a picture of the strip angle setup that has been working well for me. A 1/2 inch grove allows 1/4" of the strip to stick up. When the plane guides along the pine fence it cuts a 5 degree angle. when I slide one 1/4" wide strip between the pine fence and the plane it cuts a 7 1/2 degree angle and with two strips it cuts a 10 degree angle. This has taken care of all of my angle needs so far. I chock the edge of my usually 8 ft long strips so I can see when I have made a complete cut to the edge. I also use my tiny plane quite a bit.
