Ramped shooting board?

I don’t need no stinkin’ badge ramp!

Ok, not really.  I still want to build one, but I saw this clever trick in Wood Magazine this month.  Putting a small piece of scrap under the edge of the piece you’re shooting creates a ramp and moves the area of blade wear. (see arrow in picture)

This is a great excuse to continue to postpone building the ramped version.  ;o)

Then I made a walnut sandwich.  Ok, not really that either.  I trimmed up the cabinet dividers on the band saw.  Then I cleaned them up with a rasp and a little sandpaper.

The curves will allow a little bit easier access to the cubbies.
