Walnut legs should look good.

Provided you aren't peeping through the knotholes...

Well that's very restrictive of you.

I guess I am going to give up on the $280 worth of CNC cut maple jaws from Andrew Klein, as he seems to be ignoring e-mails entirely now, and make my own.  Paid for them a month ago and nothing yet as he forgot to send them with the vices.

When you are cool woodworking dude you can take people's money. 

Chargeback? Social medial blast? Blow up his house?

Edit: Just watched his latest video, looks like he stole your money for another 3D Printer.

Control his head!

And to make a point, control it with the vices he sent you!

Were the jaws on a separate order to the vice? If it was on a credit card, you can just cancel the order and get the money back from your credit card company.

All out of sunlight so no glamour shots, but I declare…Jatoba vices are sexy vices. That is all. (Sapele racing stripe for bonus points)

Looks intense.

I spent my day getting signed off on the local makerspace's ping-pong table. Well used but still runs very well. Plus has a real nice 3-phase spindle.

Did not even realize a three phase spindle was a thing. Maybe I should look for one of those maker spaces so I can throw my shitty CNC away and put something worthwhile there.

All spindles are three phase. 

Are we talking power or some other nerd thing. 

Jeff, you may not have been born a nerd, but you have certainly gained that status through osmosis. It's a hard thing to come to grips with. I learned this about myself at my first Head-Fi meet in Austin.

The VFD provides three phase power to a spindle. VFDs can also be used instead of a phase converter to power three phase motors. 

Ahhh, that nerd box on my CNC.

Owning one makes you a nerd. Assimilate.

Just wait until you hear about the fourth phase, or home phase.

Let alone the Fifth Element 

He's just going through a phase.

Nice contrast between the Jatoba from Andy Klein and my own, so I do not have to make Maple bench dogs. 
 

That vise mechanism is a thing of extreme beauty.

Do any of you guys have the Pantorouter thing?  Thinking about trying this out for joinery.

No, but I did look at it recently. 

Seems like a nice tool.

It's accurate to 30 seconds in 5 years.

Got the last set of maple vice jaws from In-Kleind and the mounting points and through holes are almost a full 1/4” off center so that required dramatic work to salvage and keep the length.

Now that I have the maple vice jaws on, I think i am going to build more Jatoba jaws as the Maple bores me.
