I figure I'd get more frustrated trying to make my own than to buy the blank. Maybe I'll try sanding the one I have. It can't make it any worse.
****************************************************** I use the original insert to trace its outline on a blank piece of wood of the desired thickness. Then I jigsaw it to the approximate shape within 1/8" or so, I attach the insert to the blank with carpet tape and use a router with a ball bearing edge trimming bit to shape the blank. I usually make a few for future use. Another thought comes to mind. Does your original insert have leveling screws in it?
