  1. Small Parts Holding Clamps

    Sometimes I use a miniature Jorgensen type clamp to hold small parts. Sometimes they don't feel quite right for what I'm working with. I came up with these for the price of a T-nut, a little allthread, a bolt or screw, a couple washers, ad a nut and some scrap plywood. Details for making...
  2. Bessey F-Style and Parallel Clamp Rack

    I became frustrated with my nice F-Style Bessey Clamps either hanging from a hot water pipe in the basement (not a good idea) and my parallel clamps leaning against a wall where I invariably tripped or knock them over. I had been thinking about building or even buying a clamp rack for a long...

  4. End Tables

    These tables are based on the ones on the cover of Tables by Anthony Guidice. I love the simplicity of the design. The tables featured Dovetailed Mortise and Tenon, which came out great, but I wouldn't say the same for the drawer dovetail work! The legs are actually recoverd Tulip Poplar from...
  5. Parallel clamp racks

    These are two clamp racks that I built to replace a rolling floor unit that was taking up too much floor space. I had made a clamp rack of a similar concept four years ago (check it out here). One difference is that I made this one mount on a french cleat, which is nice because I don't need a...

  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I just purchased a Shopcraft Lathe from a craigslist add for $50 (Included a full set of craftsman chisels and gouges.). I took a pen turning class at my local woodworking shop and now I want to try it at home, but the lathe appears to only have a dead center on the tail and something very...

    Building materials and stand top The trash man giveth and the trash man taketh away…. That would seem to sum up most of my woodworking experiences so far :) At any rate, I pulled the trigger on a new Dewalt scroll saw.

    Be dissipointed with a company whose tool IS hanging on your wall. Lee Valley just informed me that Adjustable clamp company is outsourcing (at least) the Jorgensen wooden hand screws. I thought you all had the right to know as soon as I did. Please join me in sending them a complaint. -Knife
  16. Hand Tools
    Ok, so I'm a dunce I took apart my vice to install it and when I pulled it apart, the quick release nut fell before I could see the orientation of how to re assemble it. It has the words front end on one side and d70 on the opposing side. I would "assume" the end with front end goes towards the...
