straightedges

[Susan Kline]

Hi, Kris
I like your applications, but at the moment I'm more interested in how to 
buy or make a decent straightedge. My old one (wood with pyralin on both 
sides) is getting old and warps too easily, and is getting skinnier from 
all my attempts to plane it straight. I ordered one from Schaff and got a 
4' aluminum rule, which I'll have to devise some means of holding upright, 
and which is sort of heavy.

Are there still, somewhere, the good old straightedges of yore? What does 
everyone else use?

(Lots of good uses, thanks.)
