Good technique for cutting wedges

[Keith Starosta]

Howdy, All!! Last night, I modified the joinery design of a project I'm working on for my kids. I need to cut a number of small wedges for a wedged-tenon joint, and am looking for some guidance on an efficient, safe way to do this. The wedges dimensions will be roughly 1.5"L x .75"W, and about 3/16 thick at the top. Like I said....small.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Keith

Yesterday ,I was reading the new Popular Woodworking and there was a tip on doing wedges. I thought it was a great way- safe and fast. Basically, use a taper jig with your miter gauge. I'm no good at posting pics, maybe someone else could add it in. It's in the April 2008 PW.
