I was looking at Rob Cosman's video on building wood hinged boxes, very much the sort of thing I would like to spend some time with. The thickness of his boards are 3/8" and 9/16". Some local (Victoria, British Columbia) hardwood dealers sell rough boards that are mostly slightly over one inch (4/4), and any web sites I've found that sell "thin boards" are in the U.S. and shipping to Canada is ridiculous. So how does one get boards of thicknesses, say, around 3/8" to 3/4"? I don't have a table saw or band saw. Do I take these "one inch" hardwood boards to someplace that can run them on-edge through a band saw or some such thing to produce two or more thinner boards? Or is that just plain stupid economy because of the kerf? How do I get my hands on these thinner boards, please?
