Demo: Balsa sleeper cutting. (posted 27th May 2006)



As you have noticed I am making my own track and points for a larger percentage of my layout. To assist me I have made a few jigs. Here are two jigs I use to cut the Balsa sleepers to length & width

This jig is simply a paper template to mark the width of the sleepers on the sheet of balsa.

This jig is used to cut the sleeper to the width I wish. I simply press down and move the knife back to me, then use the knife to push the sleeper out of the jig, push un the balsa and start again.
