Any advise here would be appreciated.

Ready to attach my walnut endcap (21x5x1.75 inches, with 19x3x1 inch mortise) to the end of my bench. As you can see, I had to remove a portion of the tenon...

For those of you who've made your own bench dogs, what type(s) of wood did you use and why? And would you use the same type again?

1) Vise will actually be positioned about 2.25" higher up on jaws than what is shown. (Vise will be in recessed area on bottom side of bench)

2) Rear Jaw (bench endcap) is 1.75" thick walnut. ...

I have a piece of 4/4 hard maple that is plenty long to double up and glue to the walnut front jaw. So it would be: walnut endcap/rear jaw - maple/maple/walnut front jaw. I checked the thickness of...

Good info. Is there a formula or ratio to determine the proper jaw thickness given a certain width?

Vise is 9" wide, benchtop (and endcap/rear jaw) are 21.5" wide. My question(s):

1) Is this 9" vise able to accommodate a full-width (21.5") front jaw, centered at the halfway point (as shown in...

Thanks everyone. For some reason the blue against walnut didn't seem good in my mind's eye, but maybe it would look okay.

Interested in opinions on color to paint my Yost F9WW front vise (being used as an endvise). It comes from the factory in blue. Both the workbench encap and the vise jaw are walnut. What color...

That's my thinking too. I don't want to get too outlandish because of $$ issues, but I think a little contrast adds a lot. The leg vise chop and end cap being a darker species (walnut, cherry,...

Thanks. I forgot I also have some ash as well. But I was hoping for something with a color that would contrast color with the workbench, which is SYP.

The end cap will serve as the rear jaw for a Yost F9WW 9" Front Vise. Will likely join the end cap via lag screw (and maybe a simple mortise/tenon - no dovetail though). The front jaw will be the...

Thanks everyone, this gives me some ideas. I actually went to HD today and bought a hot glue gun for starters. Gonna hit Woodcraft tomorrow and will see if they have any of that Spectape.

Hey guys, as I have no jointer in my shop, I have to try to flatten one side using a router sled, which requires securing the workpiece to the sled via two-sided tape. Has anyone done this? If so,...

Thanks for all the responses. This gives me some ideas. I'm already onto the need for a respirator and snug goggles. That is a must - this saw simply sprays dust all over the user.

Im gonna...

Just got my Grizzly G1023rlwx table saw set up this week and I've begun putting some stock through it - mostly walnut for a cutting board I'm making. So far I'm pleased with it. I have a 4" hose at...

Thanks to everyone who responded. Learned some things in this thread that I wasn't aware of previously.

AH -

That may be so. But I know myself well enough to know that I'm going to appreciate something more if it requires less upkeep/maintenance. And just as importantly, less upgrades down the...

I need a jointer so my wood can be flat and squared up. Looking at the Grizzly G0656W, maybe upgrading to a helical cutterhead. I'd like to hear some feedback from folks who have jointers, even of...

JS -

Yes, sorry no updates. Got the saw Wednesday. Spent the better part of 3 days getting it set up (mostly due to being out of shape and taking my sweet time).

Fired it up this weekend for...

Thanks for the responses.

So since I'm not an electrician, let me make sure I'm getting this concept: I can replace the 6-20 factory plug on the jointer with a 6-30 plug, and since the electric...

Looking to purchase a Grizzly G0656W jointer, which is 240V, 12 Amps and requires a minimum circuit of 20 Amps. Jointer plug is a 6-20 plug. I already have a 240V circuit in my shop - it is a 30...

Anyone use a thin kerf with this saw? Would like feedback if you have.

Just got my 1023 yesterday. Reading through instruction/setup manual, and it says a thin kerf blade cannot be used with...

Another thought -- What about taking the fence off, then putting the entire unit upside down in the bed of the pickup (on a rubber mat maybe), then securing with tie downs or ratchet straps. That...

Thanks so much for the response. It sounds like that's the way to go -- taking the tables off as a unit and putting them upside down.

Thanks again.

Going to purchase one of these from a fellow woodworker this weekend.

Any reason not to transport it in the bed of my pickup truck? I know it will fit if I lay it down on its back side.
