This episode shows how to build what I believe is one of the best feather board designs you will find in woodworking.

The original design is by Gord Graff (Thanks, Gord, for this wonderful gift!), which he posted at Lumberjockstwo months ago. You can find the full text of his post by clicking on this link. In the original post he describes two methods of making featherboards: 1) Using the table saw, and 2) Using the band saw. I prefer to use the band saw, as it results in fingers with no undercut; undercut is inevitable when using the table saw.

I would love to hear what your favorite jigs and safety accessories are for use in the shop. Please leave me your comments using the link below.
