    One thing I thin Derek pointed out to me too on those LV Skew rabbets. Don't curl your offhand fingers up under the plane sole like we sometime do on a bench plane. It's super easy to cut yourself...

    Thanks for the responses. It literally never occurred to me to build a proper F&F for regular rip cuts shorter than the slider length. My current F&F is just two pieces of plywood with two runners...
