Default Band Saw Ripping Jig
I made an improved jig for ripping blocks on the diagonal. Typically, these would be used for blanks for face carving. I posted a video of the process on YouTube and my blog. Here's the link.

Thanks Don! I made one some time back that clamps to the table, but this one is far superior to what I cobbled together for the job, which btw only works marginally. Your idea of incorporating the miter slot will be a game changer I think for the lack of accuracy in the one I did.

L.P.
