Today, I discovered a major glitch in the use of the jig. It's my fault, really, I guess.
You know that old saying, "what you don't know can't hurt you"? Well, whoever, "they" are, lied.
Last week I ripped a whole bunch of my black walnut into strips that are 1.5" wide.
The picture below, shows that the bottom rail will be screwed into the plywood below. The red arrows indicate the joint between the plywood and the bottom walnut rail.

As you can see, that means that the screw holes will be drilled crosswise, rather than lengthwise. That created a problem for me.
