Making small wedges

[Aram]

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

Thank you very much. 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.
