Anyone have a simple, accurate measure and mark method (similiar to shaping 101) for applying top and bottom 50/50 rail bands on boards in the 3" to 3.5" range? One that can be adjusted with = or - measurments for 60/40 rails. Thanks!
Look in the board forum and look under “Tools.” Check out the “Line Tool” from Peter Rijk. That’s what I use. It follows the rail’s outline and marks straight guide lines for planing. I drilled holes in mine at 2" and 4" (from edge) for deck markings. If this sounds confusing here, just look at the diagram and you’ll figure it out. It’s pretty basic.
