Default Homemade split router fence

I made this fence this week. I plan on using it to edge joint boards. I purchased the shims from Rockler which were on sale for $2.99 for six. There are four .010 shims,one .020 and one .040 in the packet. The front of the fence was made with a 1 1/2 inch piece of laminated table top that I had lying around for many years. The rest is made of 3/4 maple stock which was also lying around my workshop. My router table is 35 inches wide and 27 inches deep. The screw down knobs were purchased last year on sale for $9.99 for a bag which had 8 knobs and about 15 different sized t-track bolts.
It shows what can be made on the cheap.
