VPI Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Got a box of vice stuff that is now no longer needed. Might still build the Moxon vice for a clamp on vice but the Sjoberg probably will not be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 After two hours of reviewing the Benchcrafted plans, I have only been able to deduce that the bench seems to be built out of various pieces of wood and the red thing seems to screw onto the spinny things. Think I might go back to making beer openers and put this on hold as I might be getting myself into a 5 year, $20k build based on my skill set. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you must be a graduate from ship building school, to complete those plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Decided to scavenge pieces from the old drill press cart to build something with more drawers and a shelf to store various jigs across the bottom. Also needed it to be a bit shorter to limit lifting of the heavy ass drill press and fit the taller unit. New drill press will evidently be delivered tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I faced when making my bench (the classic Klausz design) was - you need a bench to build a bench. A real chicken and egg thing. Had to get a free engineer's bench to build the bench on. Built the top out of quarter sawn beech with a sapele underframe. Absolutely solid, zero racking no matter what I'm doing. Mind you, your workshop is much much bigger than my converted garage - seriously jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Realize now I should have gone with less spalted maple and more hydraulic lifting table base in the drill press table. Heavy and awkward motherfucker. On an unrelated note, does anyone know the symptoms of a hernia? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavitsk Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 We occasionally have sugar maple with tap holes around here. It looks similar, except the holes are larger. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
