Very cool ides,Clint I have a bunch of thin blades also,remind me and you can have
some when you get there,to thin for knives so I will never use it all up. :) Not sure the thickness but it's quite a bit thinner than the 50,000 I use for scrapers and trad points.  :)

 you can but when you lower the spacer it goes against the grain of the feather and bunches it up.  As simple as it is to build I thought it would be easier to make a double sided one.

Nice work Clint!  Looks slick!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Verry clever.  I have the same problem. Post pics of the tool for sanding the bottom?
