I will most likely buy them, or if I could find the proper cross section of stock wood, just cut them to length. As for the danger, if you "tool-up" properly on the table saw, you could cut them in such a way that you're hands are nowhere near the blade. This is absolutely critical in my opinion. Having grown up with a Great Grandfather who was missing a couple fingers from a table saw, I'm extremely cautious). In the end, it may very well be cheaper just to buy them. Interesting thought, however.
