Workbench 2.0

[Christopher Charles]

Enjoying too. I very much like my BC wagon but there's nothing magic about it. The green tail vise is what G Hack picked for his dream bench after all. I suspect youll be just fine after a careful install, which they all require. Will say that i vastly prefer square to round after making the switch.

My old bench is DF and no trouble in 10 years.

Good luck and enjoy the massive old iron-- wish i'd been able to use similar.

Cheers,
C

The Dude--I'm with you guys.

It think Dave's response to Winton would have been better if instead of quoting he had inserted a clip!

Not 5 minutes ago I ran across that old FWW video and was noticing that. His vise tail vise seemed to operate very well which was very encouraging. I just wish they would ditch the green, because well I've been wondering....

Yeah its sweet. I'm tempted knock out a wall of my foundation and put in a a big doorway just so I can fit something similar in my shop some day (though I don't think my wife would approve) My basement stairwell is at most 24" wide which pretty much rules out any of the awesome old machinery.

I couldn't do it because every clip I found had the whole scene in it - context and all, and that would've been way out of bounds on SMC. i LOVE every jesus segment in the big lebowski, though.

Wierd, I just googled the quote and the short clip came right up...yeah, definitely could not play the whole scene here. That would not over well.

Winton probably knows him as El Duderino.

I think I might be the only one who caught that

When my son recently told me that I would be a grandfather, they asked what I wanted to be called. I said they can just call me The Dude.

and I hope with all my heart that they in fact do!

Chris,

You don't know how happy the picture of you using that jointer makes me feel. I sold that monster to Paul a while ago in the hopes that someone could actually get some more use out of it. I'm glad to see it still doing good work after all these years!

Oh. So your the fella he bought it from! Awesome!

Paul did a great job getting it setup. It is such a sweet thing to use! Runs amazingly quite. Took me a few times to get used to looking that big cutter head right in the eye as I passed the lumber over it. It is seriously intimidating big piece of sharp spinning steel.

Anyway, I sure enjoyed using it (that was the first time I've ever used a power jointer BTW, quite an introduction), and I know Paul LOVES the thing.

I guess you'll find out if they give you a longer name....or if they're into the brevity thing.

The dude, that's a name that no one would self-apply where I come from.

I said it jokingly at first, but they jumped all over it so I think it's going to stick.

The Grand Dude. Roll with it.
