Ready to mortise the base into the top of my workbench. Based it on Schwartz's Anarchist Workbench. Now I'm trying to decide on an end vise. Had a tail vise on my old bench. It was OK but I don't like giving up 18" of bashable area on my top. I still have my first face vice which was a failure. It was a Veritas regular front vise, but I put a 20" x 5" jaw in it. It was not suited for that, wracked horribly and didn't have any grip.

My thought is this: cut the jaw down within an inch of the metal on the bench front side. Then my dog for holding work on the front of the bench will sit between the guide rod and the screw. Let the other end run out just past the middle of the bench. Would still need a 5" tall jaw to match my top but the heavy force would be in the vice, not out on an end. Thoughts?

I really want a wagon vice but after buying a benchcrafted leg vise and criss cross I feel pretty poor. I thought of turning my tail vise from Veritas into a wagon but the screw would run backwards. Any thoughts or ideas on that?

First up a #95R Bronze Edge Plane, all original and lightly used.
MSRP $225 and out of stock on the Lie Nielsen site.  Am thinking that $200 shipped CONUS is a fair price.

Next up, a Lie Nielsen 140 Skew Block Plane (Right) - Again, used sparingly, all original, no box.  Listed at $450 on the website, however, this newer version has a retractable nicker to score cross-grain fibers. Mine is the older version, without the nicker.  I will start this one at $325 shipped CONUS.  

I have reached my limit on pics, so let me know if you want to see more of either plane.

DM if you are interested in either one.

I probably bought this some time in the 90's and have used it sparingly.  It has spent most of it's life in a drawer. 

Some minor nicks on the handle and knob, minor rusting on the sides that I'm sure a light sanding will remove

Listed on the LN website for $295.

What is involved in installing a fence for a 14 inch saw on my 12 inch band saw?

The latest improvement to my small shop. I used bypass closet door hardware to make a place to hang often used tools. So far I like it!

This is the Woodturner's Wonders 8" dia. wheel with Radius Edge. 1 1/2" wide,.5/8" Arbor, 180 grit.. and it is almost new, having seen very little use. Also included is the optional accessory Spherical Washer set. I bought the wheel for sharpening fixed blade knives but found I prefer my belt grinders for that, since, with a slack-belt grinder you can do a convex edge grind much easier. This wheel sells new for $159.00 plus shipping, but I am selling this one for $75.00 plus actual shipping to your zip code. USA sale only...Personal check or USPS money order only. I will wait for a check to clear my bank before shipping. PM me... Thanks for looking..wait for photos...

   

I can't figure this out & how to remove it. It's smooth but still there after several washings. Any suggestions what I can use to remove this blemish?

I'd like to replace the power cord for my 15" floor planer with a longer cord.  220V   Will any 12 gauge cord work or are there characteristics I need to look out for?  What do you think of this one?  Obviously I'll replace the end with a 220v twist.
