: If you do decide to hand bevel and if you've never used a plane
: before, WEAR A GLOVE or something on the hand holding the strip.

Here's a good tip I forgot to add -

Either router a groove in the edge of a long plank or sandwich a spare strip between two planks of wood. Mount in the vice, groove upwards, and put the strips in it when you plane them. as well as saving your fingers you'll do a neater job.
