Sketch pads are handy.

I make 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sketch pads, by cutting 8 1/2 x 11 reams of plain paper in half.

(I find the smaller pads more useful, when a full size isn't necessary or too large).

Insert a divider at 1/4 - 3/8'' intervals, between the sheets.

(dividers can be salvaged on the back side of 8 1/2 x 11 notepads).

Apply ''notepad padding compound'', along the 11'' side.

Clamp the sheets together 'til the glue dries.  ( it may be necessary to apply 2-3 coats).

Separate the pads, with the divided on the bottom side for each pad.

Cut in half across the width of the padded sheets, to make 5 1/2 x 8 1/2'' pads.

Now you have your own shop made handy sketch pads.

Or, if you choose, you can have your local office supply store make them up, (just ask at the service counter).

TIP:

Add grid lines, at 1/4'' intervals, on a clip board.

(I use a Sharpie black Ultra fine point pen to make the grid lines).

The grid lines will show thru lightly, with a single sheet of paper.

The grid lines are handy to make straight lines as well as making scaled sketch drawings.

A transparent "T-Square", the size to fit a clip board, is also handy to have nearby.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
