Nice work.

I keep saying I'm going to have a go, but as you point out, it is intimidating.

Can you tell me how much that set weighs?  This is another point that has always bothered me.  The ones you have there look nice and thin, and most likely weigh less than the PVC brutes I've favoured so far.

They are VERY light.  Maybe 1 to 2 lbs.  And they are surprisingly strong.  

The first time I tried it (with a 1x4), I sanded the trailing edge too thin, and it started bending and breaking.

This set is very sturdy, and seems to weigh nothing.  In fact, when I stand on my digital bathroom scale with and without them, it displays the same weight both times.
