Leg vise is in. Works great, holds tight.
Also made a sliding deadman, works great but I may either make it wider or remake it to be wider. It’s a little tippy as it slides.

Wishing Paul a quick recovery.

Interesting, I haven’t really had the need for anything taller than 1/4”. If I’m planing something tall and thin I usually put it in a vise, tall and wide stuff is usually fine with a short stop.

3ph is great, It’s nice not to feel limited based on that. So the added cost/effort of getting some sort of phase conversion is helpful.
I have my 7hp Martin running on 1ph with a VFD.
The...
As Jared mentions, a vfd can be wired for use with push button controls.
I’m not understanding what that is doing that the aluminum veritas are not doing? Both are a planing stop when you need them and gone when you don’t.
The aluminum stops are also able to be...
It’s a drop in stop, so it’s not permanent and quite a durable one from what I can tell. My worry with something like you show is that it will get broken out after repeated use.
Can run on 1ph with a rotary phase converter.
Looking forward to it! Couple week lead time on the vise, so that gives me time to prepare.
In the interim, cut holes for Veritas planing stops. After using a piece of wood screwed to the bench...
I agree completely.
0.0005" over 6" is generally square enough in my shop for the try squares. If I use this as a general parameter for how square a tenon shoulder should be, the results create...
Thanks, Derek! Much appreciated!
It’s not hard to find the time to work, more difficult to find the time to not work :D
Thanks, Mike!
Making some progress on the leg vise. I have a few chops around, but none fit particularly well so I plan instead to make one from some type of hardwood. That I’ll mortise out...
I like that vise, went ahead and ordered it. Thanks for the recommendation.
While I’m going overboard I decided to pickup a metal vise so that I can stop ruining my woodworking vises with metal...
That mechanism he designed is pretty incredible, no threads on the shaft at all just slide it into place and tighten.
Nice looking setup, I think that might be the one. Little on the expensive side, but seems good.
Thanks, gents. Yeah the Holzapffel looks about right, mounted on the end.
The Veritas one is probably ideal, but I’m having trouble reconciling the modern look.
I was recently gifted a workbench, by a fellow woodworker, who unfortunately can no longer work. It’s a wonderfully made piece of equipment and so it gives me a chance to revisit how I utilize my...
Call your local PD if you are unsure, they'll be able to give you a definitive answer but in my experience a pelican case with a padlock is acceptable.
FWIW, it's a .22 Caliber rifle.

Pretty happy with these bits also, I will say some of the leading edges are ragged from the factory so I will them with an auger file into they are very sharp.
Correct, however, it’s not that I don’t believe that he thinks they’re sharp, it’s that I don’t believe they are sharp relative to what I know cuts well.
It’s guarding against things falling onto the cutter head from above. With exception to the Suva guard, the Euro guards leave a huge exposure when set for large material and also remain in the way. ...
Elmer, I know a lot of folks use diamond hones but personally I much prefer a tapered reamer. After reaming, I touch up lightly with a diamond hone. The outside of the chisel I make flat and...
Heavy cast iron chisel mortisers with sharp chisels work beautifully. I mortise with the Maka that Mark recommends or a chisel mortiser, often depends on what I’m doing specifically.
The Maka...
What is the euro guard actually guarding? I think the folding pork chop is about as good as it gets for a jointer (all of the guards for jointers are not great) the euro guard has the same exposure...
