In Response To: Standoff Jig detail *Pic* (Simeon)

Thanks for posting the details, great idea! I am currently finishing my first striping project: a hybrid deck on my wife's kayak. But I will definitely use them for my next project: an outer island for me.

: The jigs are made from 60mm hardboard squares. Slots are cut 10mm from the
: edge, and are a jam fit on the strips - I filed the entry corners of the
: slots to avoid damaging the strips. The standoff blocks are 10mm which in
: my case is the thickness of two strips.

: When held in the jigs, the new strip has a 5mm gap between it and the
: previous strip. This is because the blade on my plane doesn't go all the
: way to the edge, so sitting the strips flush wouldn't work.

: I made one jig for each form/station, and that number seems to be fine for
: most of the job. A couple of extra ones would be good during the longer
: strips as I was swapping jigs from one end to the other to accommodate the
: tighter angles around the bow and stern.
