Making chopsticks by hand is one of those satisfying quick projects, but doing a batch without a jig gets tedious fast. This is a CNC cut jig with angled grooves that hold the square blank at a consistent angle while you run a hand plane over it. Rotate the blank to the next flat, repeat, … Read more
