Nail replacement lattice into the empty frame. Replace this lattice by removing it from the lattice frame with a pry bar. Moisture, through snow, rain or ground moisture, easily damages wood lattice. The snow not only warps the lattice structure but also introduces moisture. Heavy snow can drift and press against lattice under-decking. Lattice is purchased from home improvement stores. Extremely damaged lattice can be completely replaced with a different and more durable material. Lattice repair requires the purchase of lattice material similar to the type that is already in place. Other decks do not require a frame, instead the lattice is nailed directly along the bottom lip of the deck. Wood, plastic or metal lattice work is placed within a frame that is then affixed to the bottom edge of a deck. Depending upon the deck's style and age, the material used can be untreated pine or fir, pretreated lumber, non-corrosive chain link or outdoor quality plastic. Came across this after an email to WWGOA! Just built that jig this afternoon – mine is 6″ wide and 42″ long.Lattice materials include wood, plastic and metal. Two such options are covered in this article:įunny thing… I recently got started into turning segmented bowls and needed a way to rip some 30″ long 1/8″ wide strips. Some jigs need to be sized according to the longest material that you plan to cut, but there are several options available that work well for cutting thin strips on longer stock. It would take a pretty long jig to accomplish that. I like the idea of a jig to help make thin strips, but unless I’m missing something, this isn’t gonna work when one is trying to rip long strips, like 36 – 40 inches. I have used a hooked block to push the too thin source through to get most of the rest of the source. Return, repeat until you have enough or the source is to thin to be pushed with the miter gauge. The strips fall safely to the side of the blade when the cut is finished. The source piece for the strips is the fit up against the block and you push it through the blade using the miter gauge. then position the block against the fence and in front of the blade. If the strips don’t need to be too long, I put a block of wood against the fence and adjust the distance between the flock and blade to the thickness of the strip. The MicroJig Grrr-ripper push block makes trivially simple – and safe – work of ripping thin strips.

Find the right approach for you, get comfortable with it, and use it with confidence. The most important thing in ripping thin strips is to have a plan in place before the need arises so that you are not tempted to try something quick but dangerous when facing this situation. For larger production runs, the size and weight of the jig slow down operations slightly, and in that scenario I commonly switch to a push shoe. I like many aspects of this jig and use it quite regularly for ripping small batches of strips. Like the Rockler jig, this jig also supports use of the blade guard for any width of strip.
