Hi all,
Firstly, thanks to the people who frequent these forums. Many times when my problems as an (very) amateur woodworker couldn't be solved by my books, they have been solved by a quick search here. This time however, I've finally registered to ask my own question.
So to my problem at hand. I'm making a few bits of kit to aid my board gaming hobby, including some simple card holding racks. There are a few designs about the place, but one commercial example can be found here. You'll notice that there are a series of slots along the length of the timber to support cards.
Because of the low table that we usually play at, I want to tilt the cards a bit by having my slots at a slight angle. They would ideally be about 3mm wide, 7mm deep, and at a 75o angle. I don't have a compound mitre saw, nor the money to buy one. I do however have a workshop full of handtools and random bits of timber and metal. I'm not averse to building small jigs or attachments for my tools.
Can anyone please tell me how I can use my resources to achieve my objective? Thanks in advance!
