Ok,

Was watching an old Norm show on DIY and it was the TS jig show where
he
talks about his old panel cutter and how he would like to update it.
Well, if we
want one like his new one, he will show us how to make it. Only
problem is
that he uses his OLD panel cutter to cut the panel for the new one! If
you
DON'T have his old panel cutter, and hadn't figured out how to cut a
panel for the jig, you'd be scratching your head and saying: Huh?

Oh, the man is deep very deep!


So it bothers you why? Because he uses the best tool available to make the
new one?

Not that it matters if you get a single straight edge on the panel you're
using. Once you get the guide in the ditch, the blade will make the only
straight edge you need on the panel. Square to it with your fence. Until
then, factory is all you need.

I used my old "sacrificial" board on my rip fence to make the new one, is
that the same thing?
