Step 4Make the guardrail, let dry if neccessary, and make some prints!
For the 1" jig, I didn't have any thumbtacks, which probably would have worked, but I did have some small nails, so I made the guardrail out of those. Make sure to take into account the width of whatever you're using -- you want the side of the nail to line up with the line on the board, so don't center the nail on the line, but put it a little to the outside.
And look! Here's our special guest, a 1.5" jig I (mostly) prepared earlier. This doesn't need measuring or nails (you line up the 1.5" wide 1 x 2 flush with the edge of the masonite), so I just made a guardrail out of a double layer of strips of cardboard stolen from the back of a pad and glued together. Glue is the strongest material known to man.
As with the 1 x 2s, feel the corners to make sure they're flush with the edges of the masonite. You kinda don't have to, really, but you might as well. I also put in some staples with a staplegun for the heck of it.
That's it! Hope this was helpful.
Best wishes,
