Making small wedges - Aram - 08-31-2021
There was a recent (I think) article or tip in FWW on a method for making small wedges. I can't find it. Can anyone point me to it?
Thanks.

This does not directly answer your question but Next Level Carpentry on youtube showed how he makes shims in this video

I should have been more specific though. I am talking about miniature wedges, like you would use in very small wedged tenons.

Thank you. That is very helpful.

Interestingly enough, despite one using a table saw and miter slot and the other using a bandsaw and fence, the jigs are basically the same between the videos of making a wedge or a shim.

Interesting. Thank you.

Provided you do not need too many wedges the Lost Art way is probably the best. By splitting the blanks off a scrap of wood you are insuring the grain runs straight and the wedge will have less tendency to splinter when it is driven in.
