Simple Shim jig for Bandsaw

[Frank S]

This is one of those examples where several possibilities for a description are correct yet none can completely describe with fewer words.
Wedge cutting jig, shim cutting jig, tapered shim cutting jig,
The problem is some folks will call them by several names.
Often when I need a wedge for a hammer handle I will use 2" long end cut off of a hardwood board set the vice in my horizontal band was to a slight angle then after the first cut merely turn the board over and cut another. Longer end cut pieces make longer wedges.
A 1 by 12 or 2 by 12 will yield several wedges before the piece of wood becomes too short to safely hold
Rorschach's simple jig does the same thing only his jig insures all shims/ wedges are uniform providing he has a fence set up so his jig becomes what some have called a boat.
I have found that if I cut a mesquite log into board shaped chunks they make excellent handle wedges
