I knocked these out today out of Lexan. Sort of fun. Sort of interesting. But definitely useful. They are 2 1/4" in the face, and 1 1/2" over the top. Ratios 5:1, 6:1, and 7:1 (I find 8:1 too flat). There is also a saddle square.

If there is interest, I'll post a build.
Nice items to make as Christmas presents :)

G’day Derek;
I’d appreciate a look at your build. I’ve tried to do the Paul Sellers dovetail jig build and ended up with a lot of firewood oak, this might help because I could do it inside (winter here in Canada). Also interested in your adhesive.

Yes Derek, please post a build! I've been wondering if I could make something like that and your tutorial would really help. Im also interested in how you glue the 2 parts together - I havent done that with Lexan.
Thank you!
Fred

"if there's interest..."
Rhetorical question, right???
