Hi Joe
Thanks. I'm a cheap old SOB again,, when I goto HD I go late at night so I can dig around a bit, without someone saying may I help you

, that way I can find the damage goods and ask the guy in the back to knock the price down, works almost all the time.

Cheap SOB I am

,I also got some plastic window blinds ,that are right at 1/8" thick and about 2" wide that work well also,it's no trick to tape them up and use the table saw to put in the slots quick and easy because the blade I use is 1/8" wide also.
One more note*** if you go diging ,look for the spot where they make them up to order , you can find cut offs in the trash can, they will let you have them at no charge, just ask the guy in the back to tape them up and mark them so you can get out the front door with them .

it's the squeaky door gets the oil
They sale or make two types of wooden ones, some have a taper to them that's the ones you don't want to used, the good ones are about 3/16" to 1/4" wide and are true (flat)
I should note **** if you find the taper ones in the trash can and you want to used them just make a quick jig and run the under the planer to get them flat, I have use double sided carpet tape and put them on 3/4" MDF board, one quick pass and then flip them over and you got them done at almost no charge...

One more NOTE*** if you go to HD go by the flooring dept. and pickup some of the free plasic blocks (poly) they give away to install the flooring,(drive blocks) some one the forum told me about that one
