Straight lines

[Robert Gleason]

This is a way simple idea, but it works great for me.
Here’s is a way to make a straight edge not slip away when you’re trying to draw a line. No clamps. Cut a piece of plexiglass straight and about the size of a yardstick or what ever size you want. Stick pieces of sticky back sandpaper on it every few inches or so. Thin sandpaper like 320 is best. The straightedge won’t slip and it is easy to see your alignment marks.

Hi Robert, I have used that idea on some templates and other aids to prevent movement whilst working.
Cheers Taff
