Robert,
Are you referring to the spindle threads?

Robert,
Are you referring to the spindle threads?
No formal plans, I wanted to be able to use holdfasts so when I designed it I put the drawer bank in the middle and doors on the side. Now I can put holes in the top on either side.
Thanks Megan, I drew alot of inspiration from Glens article a few years back.
Wooden runners. I used the same system they showed awhile back in FWW.
Rich, yes this is why I havent been keeping other benches although I see what the fuss about Roubos is all about. Hard to get rid of an Emmert.
Curt, I still have plenty of tools just try not to...
Reinis,
I did make the stool. It is made from a bunch of old stuff I had laying around the farm at Grandmas. It is a seat from an old stone rake, PTO cover, and a planter disc.
Thanks everyone, I am thinking of a sliding deadman hopefully it wont prove to big an issue, it worked for the Shakers. Dave, it might just be wishful thinking but its worth a try.
Thanks guys. She is my shop cat, good cat
Finally got the Shaker base finished for my workbench. It seemed big enough to have storage for anything and everything but it filled up pretty quick. Good way to keep the tool population in check...
No I just cut them over long. They are over 8' long and I am planning on a 7' bench.
Easy enough score, just had to cut it and haul it to my sawmiller. Not kiln dried, but the WO had been down for several years as there was no sapwood left on it. Probably wont make the bench for...
Enough White Oak 4x6's for a Roubo or two and plenty of Basswood for windsor seats.

Paste Wax the threaded portionand and any other metal portions the the epoxy may come into contact with and it should create an epoxy thread attatched to the wood and should be free from the metal.
So is there no benefit to a single piece top as in the original and Scott Landis's book?
So 4x6 is the way to go then? No kiln just time, if I lay them on the 6" side should cut 2 years off the dry time:D. Thats my shop cat Puss, she is a stray but she is also awesome, not a big cat...
I am taking some white oak logs to my saw miller tomorrow and am going to have it sawn into Roubo material. I was thinking I will have it sawn into 4x6's. This will give me a 4 piece top and they...
Nice collection Kees. All my Stanleys are of the low knob variety as well. I even added a bead to the knob because it is a nice detail. I find I prefer the tote on the earlier Stanleys as I find...
I thought it was that way for all wood workers:). Seems like people know I am a woodworker and I get all kinds of offers for free wood. Last November a friends dad was going to get rid of a pile of...
My problem is I can never say "no" to a log. I hate to see a Walnut, Cherry, Oak, Osage Orange, etc. log got to waste. I have numerous people ask if I want a tree they have storm fall, dozer pile...
I was going to keep it stock on the speed selection for now. Most of what I turn is furniture parts and tool handles so it is mostly straight grain. I was just wondering if the cost was justifiable.
I have a 1967 PM 90 that I plan to restore. I am a furniture maker that mostly does spindle turning with the rare faceplate turning of a Windsor stool seat. When I do get around to the restore what...
What Steven said. The No.42 had a special blade rotation mechanism and the round wire frame as well as the flared handle. The reason for their popularity is their having been mentioned by a well...
Had to go look at a job this afternoon and stoped at the flea market on the way home. Found this coping saw for $3. It is a Millers Falls No.42 rebranded as a Craftsman. Have had the MF 42 before...
Tom,
I have the Wentworth also mounted to a board so it is closer to my working level. That seems to be a downfall to this vise is it looks best mounted on a bench.
Has anyone seen a vise like this? It doesn't look to difficult to manufacture and it looks like it wouldn't vibrate like a normal vise, and it slopes.
