Mauricio,
That's a clever idea with the dogs. The TWW plan I am using calls for screws for the spring board. I have to give it some consideration.

 

[mochoa]

Yeah, Scott, he makes the squares on the TS, then cuts out that shallow dado, and the kerf for the spring all on the band saw, Its kind of hard to beat that for speed.

^I've got the lumber drying.
That's me in the back with my hat on backward, peeing on the log to mark my claim.

Al, i assume you cut it with a 1 man crosscut?

 

[Texchappy]

But it looks like he does have one woman supervising the operation

 

[donwilwol]

your right texchappy, I can hear the conversation…....cheez Al, you pee'ed on your shoe again!!

Hah

I'm ripping it with a pit saw. Manly.

I wouldn't want to have been in the way of that when it fell. That stump looks pretty flat, you could just square it off at the edges, drill some dog holes and use it where it is Al. When you're not using it, you could rent it out to the local amateur dramatic society and they could stage a musical on it it's so big.

I'm going to need some room for my carving too, though, Andy. I'll probably use this one as my finishing bench.

Hi, my first post, can't figure out how to get photos posted. When I do I'll share photos of the bench I just about finished. It has twin leg vises. The right one has the traditional pin in the beam for easy removal if it will be in the way. The left one has a chain devise to keep the jaw parallel and it works great. Can someone give me some help with the photos? Thanks.

Thanks for posting Boatman, and welcome to LumberJocks.

Images work a little different here than on most forums. instead of

tags it's wrapped in ! marks.


That's Boatman53's bench, not mine. Just helping post the picture

 

[mochoa]

Sweet bench Boatman, What was your strategy with the dual leg vises? Also, I would love to see details of the chain devise.

 

[Bertha]

Welcome Boatman! Can't wait to see it. I just use the site image button ("IMG"), choose "from my computer", browse to the picture on my local drive, upload it.

 

[mochoa]

Boatman, the suspense is killing me, I need to see that chain drive thingy!

 

[Mosquito]

you can likewise click the link that says "(or from the web)" once you open the image menu if it's already published to a site, such as yours was.

Hi All,
I was just reading about leg vises in the "Workbench Book" by Scott Landis, on page 45 there is a pic of a leg vise with the cast iron sissors used to keep the jaws parallel. Norm Vandal (the user) says it was getting a bit sloopy after a few months of use, but didn't effedt the work or use of it.

 

[lysdexic]

I always have difficulty with pics. I have to upload to computer then upload to picasa or photobucket then re-download to computer them re-uplaod in the post.

Otherwise, I get a pick that is cut off like Boatman's. Something happens during the upload that allows them not to becroped.

?

Also, if I try to direct link it is almost as may clicks as the above process.

I've been complaining about the image interface for a while now. It's like playing whack-a-mole; I have to hit "insert" they quickly move my cursor to where I want the picture to go. If I insert a pic directly from the web, it's huge; but if I save it locally, it's normal sized; like me and Lysdexic, respectively.
