Figured a miter saw would have been the better option.

Seems Ridge’s quality control isn’t all that good. Blade revived with with multiple teeth like this.

The other parts arrived early enough for me to head back to Milo's to finish up the build.
This jig works really well. Nice and smooth. No weird glitches, like some homemade jigs. And it produces a beautiful, low angle pocket. The brass guide does a fantastic job of placing the screw exactly where it needs to be. Impressive!
Thanks again Naaman!
Awesome!

Especially the addition of the beautiful galvanized metal corner brackets.
Joinery is for suckers.

We've all heard that storing oily rags can be a fire hazzard. I believed this, but thought it to be something that would need just the right circumstances, and was pretty unlikely.
I found this video completely eye opening and frightening. This is vastly more likely to happen than I ever believed. From today on I will take the way I handle these finishing rags much more serious. Even with the fire resistant can, I would store it outside.
But as Doug has stated to me, storing them in a closed canister full of water, and making sure the rags are completely submerged is a safer way to deal with them.
I guarantee that seeing them on fire hurdling next door is just as safe.

I put all oily rags on a small trebuchet and launch them at my neighbor.

I did it on a stand with added roller stands. Or just do it really slowly with a dovetail saw.

I assume that was after one of the 7,000 morphine pills required after your back went out.
Did not know those pills worked so well for hair growth.
Heavy loads of CDs are my kryptonite.

Roller stands really helped, but mostly it was a lot of heavy lifting. Jodi took a picture while I was working on it.

I’ll happily buy them off you for pennies on the dollar.

I have gotten close to running out several times. I am actually preferring the Jorgensen Cabinet Masters to the Besseys and the Woodpeckers in this build.
Decided the cool racing stripe in the middle of the bench was worth wasting the pretty board.
Also ordered a full set of his magnetic Jatoba dogs to put in the bench since this may be Jatoba, and the sale is perfect timing.
I built the traditional dogs that come the the Roubo plans and as much as it pains me to say this, buying a cool after market one is pretty useless. They are stupid simple to pop up and down with a good usable height range. Only downside is the bench has to be built to use them.

Guess I need another red clamp.

Jatoba?
That would definitely fit with it being from Brazil.
12 minutes ago, VPI said:Based upon photos I guess it could be any of those but I am almost positive it was from Brazil as I seem to recall seeing that when I picked it up. Might be too nice to waste on the gap stop for the bench as it cleans up very nicely.
Also, if anyone is interested in the twin turbo vice or any of his other stuff he is having a secret 20% off sale. If you need the code let me know.
But that means I would need to build another bench 🤔

I’m going to say mango, maybe Koa.

I would think any tap would work fine since it's just wood. Get a tapered and bottom tap. Not sure if this is a thing, but I've always liked taping the hole, then letting thin CA glue soak into the threads, and then taping again.

Tossed together a holder for the drills with some 3D printed mounts for extra batteries. Might spend the next month just making holders for stuff 😂

Just massive tension in the boards. Maybe not dried properly. The board will actually twist mid cut and bind up everything.
Sounds like it wasn’t dried properly.

What I used, but being a shitty woodworker my bench gets used more as a giant charcuterie board.
