: This is my rule of thumb based on the need for 52 strips.
: If you use a blade 1/8" thick you will grind one strip to
: sawdust for every two you make. With that in mind you'll need
: enough boards of max length to equal about 20 inches in total
: width.
: I always assemble enough lumber to get me, at least, 2 inches
: extra.

Your math seems to be the same as I got just less complicated thanks.
