Project Information
This is something I wanted to build for some time.
Nothing great just a good mental exercise.
Mafe built a great pair and motivated me to make these.
I searched the internet for some ideas and came up with these.
One flip and one non flip.
Their made from hard maple. And the knobs are made from Cumaru.
I drilled two holes for the inside corners of the flip stop, and cut the sides out on the band saw.
Here are the two pieces I cut out on the band saw.
A ridge was routed out to keep the stop in the track and to keep it from twisting while tightening the knob.
When routing out the opposite side of the track I had to put a shim under the part that was routed to prevent it from tilting into the bit.
Making an octagon on the band saw.
Drilling out the opening for the Brass threaded rubber nut.
The larger hole was drilled first. The tip indent of the first larger Forstner bit was used as a guide for the smaller through hole.
Gluing the nut to the wood knob.
I had these rubber nuts with brass threads laying around for I don't know for how long, and finally got to use them.
I think I got them at Lowe's.
FYI. If you noticed the stop on the left is lighter in color than the one on the right, it's because the one on the left was sprayed with shellac and the one on the right was sprayed with lacquer.
They were made from the same scrap of wood.
Thanks for visiting.
