Yes, Austin is capable of doing this for you, but I am not a fan. Try Denver Woodworking. Ask for Charlie. Top shelf guy, and reasonable rates to use his wide belt. I prefer to support old, small,...

FINALLY.....I got a vise hung on my bench!!!
After searching long and hard, I found this vintage, but new in box/unused Craftsman/Columbian QR vise on ePay. Including shipping, it...
UPDATE:
I have gone ahead and purchased one of these vises Craftsman/Columbian 506-51781. Got a great deal, but the vise is going to need plenty of TLC. Specifically, a thorough de-rusting and...
Also, are there any resources to look up these vises? Both Columbian and Craftsman? I am trying to determine if a particular vise I am looking at is a Craftsman/Columbian, or Craftsman/Wilton. I am...
Bruce,
My very limited understanding is that Columbian made the Craftsman 10" as a sibling to their own 10" QR. I can't confirm this, but based on the handful of listings on "the bay", it seems that...
So, while I thought I had settled on buying an Eclipse 10" QR , I found myself noodling around on E-Bay. Very dangerous.
I have been running across several vintage 10" QR vises.
I'm...
Excellent description Glenn. It is an encouraging notion. I know some folks may shrug their shoulders and say " so what....its another bench build thread" but I also know that some folks, like me,...
Joe,
These are great ideas. I am actually looking for a drawing the Chris Schwarz included in either his PWW or Lost Arts Press blog. It is a simple napkin type drawing, but shows holdfast hole...
Joe, thanks! I took a look at TFWW, and the Gramercy holdfasts, what a bargain. Seems that they have quite the following.
Regarding my face vise, I think I may end up with an Eclipse 10" QR,...
Joe,
Thanks for your response. I'm toying with the idea of dog holes for the face vise. Currently, there is not enough room for an end vise in this configuration.
Holdfasts are also on the short...
Aaaaaannnnnd.....Murphy strikes again. Throw some tools in there, some rubber support mats in select areas, and you will never care. I think that once the shop us built, and up running, you will...
That.....is.....awesome!!!!!!
I bet you are fully excited to get to making sawdust. Good on ya Steve!!!
Thanks Steve! How's the shop coming?
FINALLY!!!!

Here are a couple of pics. I'm still hemming-n-hawing on vises, but should have at least one hung...
I know this thread is old, but I too am suffering from a runny and oddly colored can of JPW. Is this just a case of there being too much solvent in the wax? Should I open it up and let it flash off...
Agreed. As someone who buys nearly all their tools second hand, I depend on this forum, and others like it, to provide me with the info I need to seek out, procure,modify and maintain my shop....
Nope, that's an endgrain butcher block countertop.

Well....I'm nearly done. All that's left is securing the top, building and attaching the toll well, and getting finish applied.
Charley,
Funny you should mention the "photo search" vs. Normal Google search. I just discovered this particular method recently. It's funny how this had never occurred to me before. Great way to...
Thanks Charley.
Rod and Lee,
Thanks guys! I'm bouncing between here and Google looking for ideas. These two reply are quite helpful. I hadn't thought about the magnetic panel, great idea. If I leave the slot that...
Hello all,
Just a quick shout out to anyone who can point me to a "known to be effective" shop built, or otherwise, method of capturing dust from an open base contractor saw? (A LA Delta model 10...
Rod, thanks! Actually, I ended up with a General International contractors saw. Since I posted this thread a while back, I have enjoyed tuning the GI saw, and am getting ready to outfit my shop with...
Michelle, thanks for the reply. However, the Domino just is not in my financial cards right now.
