Default Anyone have a board stretcher?

I have some ply where the grain is going the wrong way, so it's too
short in the direction I need...

Do one of you have that board stretcher :-p



Actually it can be done. Cut diagonally from on end to the other. Now
place the pieces together along that cut line and move the ends in and
out according to how long you need them to be. Naturally the result
will be narrower as you lengthen the piece so cut wide enough to begin
with. And you will have to glue the pieces back together.

I have made a board longer on occasion using this method.
