: Boy, I am with Dave. The price of strips has floored me too. But I do have a
: fully equipped wood working shop so I am set up to easily make strips. But
: it also looks like a boring tedious task. I like things more challenging
: in wood. But I am going to make my own strips.
Get a friend or family member to help. It not only speeds up the work of maneuvering the long boards, but the work seems to go faster with someone to yell at. It's hard to talk to them with a normal voice over the noise of the saw, so the yelling is friendly, not acrimonious.
And when you are done, it is good to sit and look at your resulting strips while enjoying a cold beverage--which also helps to wash down the sawdust.
