Double-Decker Mini Clamp Here's a great little clamp for those light-duty hobby or craft jobs. Start with two ordinary clothespins, then modify and combine them as shown above. You now have a clamp with triple the capacity of a single clothespin. Alan Dooley My Take Who thinks of this stuff? Well, obviously, Alan Dooley did,…. Workbench Joint Plans for my knock-down workbench called for the 2 x 4 stretchers to be fastened with bolts and hex nuts.

I'd have to rout huge pockets, weakening the stretcher, in order to get a wrench on the nuts. I rummaged through my jelly jars of spare hardware and came up with this….

One of the gripes I hear about French workbenches is that the benchtops are difficult to flatten because of the end grain protruding through the top. Here are a few simple tricks that deflate that argument.

Edge-Banding Clamp I ran out of clamps and patience the last time I applied a veneered edge to a long piece of plywood. The tangle of clamps to hold the veneer and cauls in place was more than I could take! To make life simpler, I came up with a slick way to clamp edge…. Glue-Up Helper I've always struggled with the rubber bands I use to hold jewelry box sides square and steady during glue-up.

The biggest pain in the neck was cleaning the glue squeeze-out from under the bands. When I lifted the band the box would shift before my eyes! I was ready to chuck the whole…. Tabletop Connection Steel tabletop fasteners are a great way to attach a tabletop to its base while still allowing for seasonal changes. On a table with straight aprons, it's easy enough to saw a kerf to hold the connectors with the tablesaw, but on a curved or molded apron that's not feasible.

Instead, I've found…. Tablesaw Sled Cutoff Block My sliding cutoff sled gets lots of use for repetitive cuts. In the past, I clamped a board to use as a stop, but moving it for different cuts became cumbersome. To make a quickly adjustable stop, I routed a dovetail slot into the back edge of the sled and made…. Getting the Point I frequently use awls in my work and like to keep them needle-sharp.

This little jig takes only a few minutes to make and guarantees a fine, tapered point. The magnets keep the jig securely in place while in use. Jay Wallace My Take Judging from the "down" arrow on the illustration,…. Cross-Grain Trim I recently needed to attach molding across the sides of some bookcases. Because the sides were solid wood, I had to allow for some seasonal movement. I used a table-mounted router with a keyhole bit and cut slots in the back of the molding, as shown above.

I installed round-head screws and adjusted…. Repairing Ripped Belts Sanding belts can rip at the worst possible moment — such as when Used Combination Woodworking Machine For Sale Australia Login you're out on a jobsite with no spares. When this happens I remove the belt, turn it inside out and cut the torn spot into a diamond-shaped hole with a utility knife. This adds life to the belt without…. Tablesaw Jig Clamp I added this hold-down to my tablesaw's sliding cutoff jig and find it a great convenience, because the height of the clamp is easily changed.

This clamp uses a standard bar-type caulking gun, cut in half, as shown. The mounting block slides to apply clamping pressure where needed, and I covered the…. No more! I found a clever way to protect them. I cut the fingers off some old leather work gloves. Then I poked holes with an awl and threaded a drawstring through the holes.

Now I just slide…. Once you are able to rip your eyes off of H. Router Base Transfer Points After I lost track of the base plate for the router that goes in my router table, I had to make a new one with accurately marked holes for the mounting screws and a centered hole for the bit. I figured out how to do it while flipping through a machinist's….

Vise Crank Handle I'm getting up in years but I still love woodworking. My hands aren't as limber as they used to be, so it was uncomfortable to twist my vise handle. I remembered the crank on my father's Model T, so I made one just like it for my vise. I drilled a hole…. The two-hour video show you how to build a sturdy workbench using home-center materials and a benchtop made using solid-wood kitchen countertop from IKEA.

It really can be built in two days — I built it…. A Brush for Tight Spots Q. It seemed like a great idea until I went to varnish the piece. That's when I realized I couldn't get a brush in that little space.

What should I have…. And the plates were almost certainly copied…. Temporary Zero-Clearance Insert My small tablesaw and accessories follow me to jobsites every day. One morning I needed to rip thin slats from a 2 x 4 and wouldn't you know it, I forgot my zero-clearance insert. Tape to the rescue! First I lowered the saw blade all the way.

Then I laid a strip…. I always sharpen them. So why should workbench accessories be any different? The aluminum ones are terrible for too many reasons to even get into here. The iron…. Super Chop Saw Stop This stop slides along a rail that's screwed to the top of my chop saw fence, and I can lock it in any position.

The hinged block is locked in the down position with a trunk latch. When not needed, the stop can be flipped up out of the way or…. Groovy Dowels Have you ever tried gluing a pin made from dowel rod in a blind hole? If so you've probably encountered the nasty air pocket that forms at the bottom of the hole and makes insertion difficult.

I've got a solution: tighten the dowel in a drill press chuck to create three grooves in…. Traversing boards without a tail vise can be tricky. It works fine, but it requires a long batten and two holdfasts to work.

Workbench builder Richard Maguire published a tip on his blog this summer that allows…. Large Sheet Crosscutting Crosscutting large sheets of plywood on the tablesaw can be difficult, and I usually end up binding the blade, burning the wood, or worse. To get around this, I clamp a board under the plywood, and use it as an auxiliary fence which rides against the left edge of the tablesaw to….

Bench Helper I use this simple device when planing the edges of long boards. It's especially useful when the board is too springy to be clamped between a bench dog and a tail vise. I hold the board in the v-shaped notch with my left hand and plane with my right.

Glen D. Because we have just about put to bed the current issue and due to the upcoming holiday weekend, I had a little free time to be out in the shop. Look out workbench, here I come — again. Today I worked on the shop drawers that slip into boxes that will eventually fit inside the…. Two magnets keep the jig securely in place while in use.

Jay Wallace My Take Not only do jigs help ensure accuracy and…. Veneer for Edging Instead of buying veneer or edge-banding material for plywood, make your own from scrap left over from the project. This is not only inexpensive, but the edge banding will match exactly.

First install a zero-clearance throat plate on your tablesaw. When building a workbench, boring the dog and holdfast holes is a drag, even with an electric drill. Last month, however, that all changed.

While building a French oak Roubo workbench at an event put on by Benchcrafted details here and the movie is here , Jameel Abraham introduced me to Japanese-made WoodOwl Nail Chipper bits…. My bandsaw tires have a builup of pitch and sawdust that seems to be embedded right into the rubber.

What's the best way to clean my tires? George Satter A. An excessive buildup of sawdust and pitch on your tires…. Router Table Spring Board I saw this device in an old woodworking book.

I gave it a try and now I use it all the time. With this spring board you get even pressure along the entire fence and better results than either hand feeding or just featherboards. I still use a featherboard on the…. It sounds like a supermodel complaining about a photo shoot for the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. Getting a good workbench usually takes loads of money, time or both of those things. But what if you tried to be really clever and you used inexpensive construction and home renovation materials to build a massive traditional bench for a fraction of the cost of a commercial bench and with only two days of….

I know. After knocking out my dovetails, I laid out…. Double-Duty Sanding Drum I sand a lot of thin wood on my drum sander and as a result, I only wear out the bottom part of the drums. Flipping them over allows me to use the top but the middle remains unused. Call me a cheapskate, but I hate throwing away anything that's still usable!

Zero-Clearance Bandsaw Table I like to cut tenons with my bandsaw, but the little cutoffs tend to fall down in the space by the blade and get in the way or bind the blade. I found a slick fix.

Tape a piece of thin cardboard from something like a manila folder or old cereal box …. Plywood Carrier You don't have to be built like an orangutan to carry plywood! This simple carrier extends your reach and turns an awkward job into an easy one. Clarence C. Kositzke My Take Well,…. Thickness Gauge I use this handy device constantly to check and compare thickness on a variety of projects.

Slide the gauge over the edge of the stock, keeping the graduated edge flat on the surface of the board, and read the thickness. You'll have to make the graduations yourself, based on a board you gradually…. Roman workbenches have not left this world. In fact, some people might argue that they are still used today and are called shaving horses.

Router Dado Jig In the course of my work as a contractor, I often need to build cabinets and bookshelves on site — without the luxury of shop tools. I gave up on the flimsy router fence supplied with the machine and made the jig shown in the sketch.

The router base now slides between…. The first time I saw an 18th-century workbench, I thought: Wow. That will never work. So the first time I saw a Roman workbench from 50 A. That would….

Machine Floor Locks Anyone with a machine on wheels — especially a tablesaw or planer — understands the necessity of locking it in place before using it. I use a pair of toggle clamps connected to rods. I position the machine where I want it and lock the toggle clamps down, as shown above. Smooth-Cutting Hole Saw I cut a lot of discs and large-diameter holes in my shop. I was puzzled for the longest time because I was getting vibration and smoke.

It even happened with new hole saws. Eventually, it dawned on me that the culprit wasn't my antiquated drill press, but the simple fact that a…. Dovetail Marking Jig This little jig greatly speeds the laying out and marking of dovetail pins. Make the jig so the thin piece is exactly the same size as the pin you plan to use. Then, mark a half-pin on the left side, and divide the remaining space into equal parts according the the number….

Then my neighbor turned me on to a technique that solved my problem. As you can see, I did get into the shop this week to begin on my workbench storage boxes. Bevel Gauge For years I ground a way-too-shallow edge on my favorite chisel. It wouldn't hold up worth beans, so I dug through the junk drawer for something I could make a bevel gauge out of.

What I came up with is this simple jig. Just place the chisel's bevel into the angle formed by…. To heck with my computer, I need to make dust or something. I need a place to store my tools when I…. Rubber Band Veneer Clamp I had tried everything to successfully glue veneer on curved surfaces: cauls, three-way clamps, string and tape, you name it.

Nothing ever worked as well as this homespun solution, which requires only simple shop supplies. Nail a row of brads into two boards and clamp them to both sides of the…. Adjustable Curves Laying out a large curve with a cobbled-together, oversize compass is a pain in the neck.

Instead I use a bowed slat that can be adjusted to any curve. I used to bend the slat with my hands and draw the curve with a pencil in my mouth. That didn't work very well!

Comfortable Dovetails Like the majority of wokbenches, mine is fine for planing but too low for cutting dovetails without prolonged stooping.

My answer is to clamp a heavy backing board, as shown in the sketch, and clamp the workpiece to it. I usually tilt the work so half the dovetail-cutting lines are vertical and then,…. Normal 0 0 1 17 4 It's an event for builders and remodelers.

Since Festool was showcasing some new tools at the event, I decided it'd be good for me to have a look. I ended up getting…. Thanks to the clever engineering in the portable bench, it can handle most handwork tasks when clamped to a dining room table or kitchen countertop.

My first…. Starting today, and continuing each Friday, I'll be posting tips from the American Woodworker archives. This first one, however simple, is one of my all-time favorites, and one of the most-reached-for tools in my shop. Belt Sanding Block I do most of my sanding by hand, so I made this convenient wooden sanding block to…. The No. One answer: wedges. Reader Ilkka Sivonen of FInland built the bench without wooden….

A typical workbench with typical vises that looks like lots of other workbenches. Workbenches that were drawn by an artist that have vises that would never work and that are put in stupid places where vises….

If there is one disadvantage to round bench dogs, it is that they can occasionally rotate as you are clamping something between two dogs or when you are planing against a single dog. An Italian reader devised a very clever solution to this problem that is quick. So when I heard from several of them that they were interested in buying one of my portable workbenches, I thought I could do better than sell them something.

I enlisted the help…. Holy cow I mucked around a lot making the dogs for the portable workbench featured in the June issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. I made spring-loaded bench dogs more complex than necessary. And when I considered casting the dogs,…. The overhead lighting leaves a lot to be desired. I found a great…. During my visit there, I had the chance to inspect the hardware straight from the box.

I got to play with three pieces of bench hardware, all of which were very nice…. As I read many of your comments and suggestions for my bench drawer storage, I also talked with executive editor Bob Lang. If I then position the grooves cut into the case sides at…. One of the biggest obstacles to beginning woodworkers is carving out a space to work in, and building a bench to work on.

Recently, I built a pair of portable workbenches that are closely based on a now-disappeared commercial bench from the 20th century. These small-scale benches clamp to almost any surface, from a kitchen…. Years ago, I saw an interview with W.

I was intrigued by his argument, but it took a few years until I was ready to commit to it. Last year I toothed my benchtop and began working on…. Let me say this first: You are welcome to put a holdfast hole anywhere you please. No one will think less of you. That said, I…. Instead of using a manual threadbox for these benches, I decided to try the Beall Tool Co.

As patternmakers are the Jedi Knights of the woodworking world, their workbenches are always a little different. These vises are gorgeous — read all about them at The Iron Hand website. I think these vises…. Yes, I could have cut them on the table saw,…. The other headline I considered for this blog entry was: Fare thee well, pinheads. As I sorted through the box of castings and metal bits in my Benchcrafted Crisscross kit tonight I wondered if this would be the box that finally banishes the pin from my leg vise.

Ever since the minute I built my first leg vise, it has been my vise of choice. Its downside? I try to stay abreast of the world of workbenches and workholding.

But sometimes a place like Evans Wood Screw Co. For six years, this Franklin, Ind. You can find the company at TheTraditionalCarpenter. The small site offers a good selection…. Finding a French-style workbench Used Combination Woodworking Machine For Sale Australia Review with a twin-screw vise is somewhat uncommon. And so what furniture maker Nick Webb stumbled upon on the Mediterranean island of Gozo is even more unusual.

The bones of the bench are fairly…. We have iron planes and wooden planes. Iron vises and wooden ones. Iron clamps and wooden ones. But it does. I see a lot of workbenches.

Lots of them are gorgeous. Many of them are tough. Few benches are both. Last weekend at Woodworking in America in Pasadena, Calif. For the most part, the bench is made from…. Lake Erie Toolworks showed off a new wooden vise screw kit at Woodworking in America that can be used to make a nice wagon vise or shoulder vise.

Both vises work brilliantly and allow you to easily use a wooden screw to make these traditional vise forms. The vises use the same robust vise screw…. Last month I posted an entry on a portable workbench top that had poked its head up in Australia and Europe.

The version from Denmark inspired me to build it. But reader Andrew Volk had…. Earlier this year I wrote about a portable workbench top that went up for sale in an Australian auction. It was an ingenious solution to a problem that many woodworkers face: How do I do woodworking while watching television in the house?

This bench gizmo also is…. In this one minute video you can see how I find materials, how I design, and the building of a new piece. The piece that I built was made from glass that I found on the street on Manhattans' upper east side, and cedar that I salvaged from the dumpster of a woodshop where I teach in Brooklyn NY….

But shavehorses were definitely used in the mining industry. This summer I have made two changes to my Roubo-style workbench that I built in that have made the bench even more effective and easy to use. First up, a real-deal antique French holdfast, sent to me by a colleague in France. Clearly blacksmith made, this holdfast is sized somewhere between the monster holdfast…. During the last five years, Kelly and his students have been building different style benches with all manner of vises….

Awhile back, I had won a Diamond Edge 6c handplane. It was kind of rusty, front knob was cracked, everything was in one piece, though.. However, when the box arrived at my front door…. The front of the part came out of this box, followed by the rest of the plane..

I got a chance to use both new vises while in Maine in July, and am both impressed and convinced. On the final day of a workbench class, the students either assemble all their benches or pack up the parts in their cars to assemble things at home.

Assembly is easy. I usually do it by myself, but I never decline offers of help. When I build a workbench in the old style, the rules for joinery change a bit for me. The strength of the bench comes from the top — not the base.

And the amount of contact surface between all the mortises and the tenons is formidable. So if you need a mallet to drive home….

When you build a workbench with an impressively thick top, one of the challenges is cutting it to its finished length. Unless you have an insane circular saw from Mafell. My least-favorite joint to cut by hand is — hands down — a deep mortise. But when you build a French-style workbench, you need to make about a dozen of them.

And if you do it by hand, you are talking about a lot of boring, chopping, paring and sweating. When I mentioned this to…. No matter how many times I do it, every class on building a workbench is remarkably different. Different wood. Different tools. Different students. Different country. I know exactly how. I was drinking beer…. Is underway. I also had a beam laying around outside of the shop, kind of buggy.

Wound up takingan axeto plane off the buggy stuff. Brought it in, and split…. These big hunks look old school and make the construction process quick and painless — the top has only three glue lines. Of course, the problem for most people is finding this wood.

You can find…. Assembling workbenches in the old-school manner is a nail-biter. If the drawbores are too close together, then you drive the peg in and nothing happens. You start looking around for your framing nailer. If the drawbores are too far apart, you drive the peg in and it explodes…. After three days of work, we are going to start assembling the workbenches we are building at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking tomorrow and are coming to a familiar fork in the road.

Should we assemble the benches using glue or not? The legs are immobile…. Talking about the motivation for building a French-style handwork bench using lots of power tools is always a discussion that feels like a hall of mirrors. When it comes to building furniture in my shop at home, I have zero desire for industrial-grade machinery.

But when I need to get a class of students at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking to get 17 benches completely built in five days, I embrace the large-scale noisy stuff. Some might call Used Combination Woodworking Machine For Sale Australia Price it selling…. And when you…. Christopher Schwarz and Lucy May are pleased to announce the newest addition to their family. Weight: 9 lbs. Birth date: Feb. Delivered by: Peter Ross, blacksmith and white smith.

After more than seven years of searching, I have finally found a bench holdfast that works effortlessly with a French-style…. Can we not agree that I am not of sound mind and body? OK, read on. Ross is quite familiar with Roubo, but I sent him a translation of the…. This is somewhat trickier than dovetailing softer woods, or when dovetailing a soft wood, which compresses, into a hard wood, which does not.

Add to that the fact that oak really likes…. When I built a Moxon double-screw vise last year for sawing and other chores, I tried to keep it as simple and close to the 17th-century original as I could. But woodworkers, being…. Sliding Dovetail Bench Super-strong router joints give it elegant simplicity.

By Tim Johnson This elegant bench has humble origins: Its forebears have been sat upon, stepped on and dragged about for centuries. Utilitarian ancestry is readily apparent in our bench. It features simple construction and strong interlocking joints.

The pieces fit together like a puzzle,…. When you are checking out, use the following code: WD Click here to start shopping and saving now. It seems I have more holdfasts than internal organs.

The holdfasts…. Stowaway Bench This bench will fit in any entryway, and store your umbrella and gloves too! By Jon Stumbras This country-style bench will cut the clutter by the door and serve as a resting spot to put on your shoes.

The lid opens up to reveal a handy storage area. At only in. Perhaps I should be the last person to buy a Moxon-style vise kit from Benchcrafted. But instead, I was one of the first to line up for the kit….

I know the exact moment that Roy Underhill cracked my workbench open during Woodworking in America last weekend. There was a disturbance in the Force. In other words, my phone went nuts with people texting me and mentioning the event on Twitter. Those first-hand reports were dire — and wrong. Roy had split the chop….

But no. My little bench will now be making the trip across the river. And that…. I have always waited for and dreaded the day when someone made a commercial workbench that I would consider buying. That day might almost be here.

We all ate dinner at gas station in Saxapawhaw — probably the best gas station food ever made on this planet. Check this out…. I have flattened my Lie-Nielsen bench benchtop. Not a terrible job but I did experience tear-out. Several readers have asked where to get this magic router bit. It sounds like a deeply personal question one you should discuss with your doctor. And it is indeed a personal question.

Woodworkers are always looking for a better way to flatten the top of their workbench after they finish building it, or when the top has gone out of truth for some reason. I like using a handplane to flatten benchtops, which takes about 45 minutes on average.

Other people build a special router jig that…. It is unwise to rush when installing vises on a workbench. So I stopped whipping the maggots students during the last two days of the class and encouraged them to work at their own pace. Some slowed down, but some stayed at the fevered pitch established in the first four days of the class.

Installing vises in workbenches is always a finicky process — unless you go for a super-simple setup like the one I prefer: A quick-release vise for the end vise and a simple leg vise for the face vise. The students were fitting their joints among piles of shavings and sawdust and joking with one another. The radio was on they have a radio? This, I….

I usually keep a log that records all the time I work on a project in the shop. But few people believe me when I say that I spend about 40 hours building an ancient workbench. Their disbelief is understandable. I hear stories about people spending a year constructing a traditional European-style bench and sinking….

They would use only the best materials. So the early bench was typically flawless, expensive and treated like a precious object. After all, this was the most important tool in any workshop. By Randy Johnson and Luke Hartle In our shop, we used to pile tools, parts and hardware on top of a wobbly workbench made from 2x4s.

When we had to glue a project together, we shoved everything aside. Finally, we…. Wedged-Base Workbench Tablesaw joinery locks it together.

By Tim Johnson This workbench has a top ready for hard use. The interlocking joinery, with its dovetails and wedges, is rock solid, yet it knocks down quickly for moving. Although it looks complicated, the base is surprisingly easy to…. This week we are putting the finishing touches on a new article from Ron Herman, the Columbus housewright, on a topic that has yet to be covered by the woodworking media — as far as I can tell.

OK, this is the last entry on mobile workbenches this week. The remainder of the week will be all about my plan to have our dust collection system run by hamsters. You might remember my attempt to fashion a mobile base for the LVL workbench that was simple and inexpensive. Click here to read…. Making your workbench mobile is easy — just add swiveling casters.

Making your workbench immobile, however, is more difficult. We have tried a number of solutions here in our shop. When most people ask about the split top in my workbench, it is in regard to the removable tool trays.

Do they fill up with junk? Do they keep tools safe and out of the…. When the Northeastern Woodworkers Association came calling I agreed to bring my handmade Roubo workbench the one featured on the cover of the August issue to its annual Showcase in Saratoga Springs, N.

This year the Showcase is March , and it is one of my favorite woodworking shows, both as an attendee and as a presenter.
