Default $7 Splitter

I don't have any kind of guide bushing thingie to follow a template

anyway.
So how can I make one of these things without a router? The only thing I
have for cutting curvy stuff is a scroll saw. I can cut close to a line,
but I have serious doubts about doing a satisfactory job on something that
needs tolerances this close.


Next time Woodcraft offers router bits for $5 grab one witht he bearing that
follows a template. That is what I used to make them from MDF after rough
cutting the blanks on the band saw. Scroll saw or jig saw would work also.

Barring all of that, do you have a belt or spindle sander? You can get a
good enough fit that way also.



It's not spending $22 that bothers me, but needing another $22 when I
eventually get a dado stack, and another $22 for 45-degree bevels and
another $22 for when I want to do 33.275 degree angles for that super
blurfl. Making them myself would be much cheaper.


With the MDF they are about 50¢ or so. With scraps, even less. What do you
have laying around?--
