You abound with Suckage. !!!

Nice find. Will you use it as is or pull the vise from it?

It has the Bowbelly handle on it, another sought after saw. Folklore has it it was named after a young boy who liked saws. Yes our very own Sawboy.

Very fine post; thanks for the effort, I'll eventually use it.

I am fairly certain they are all the same

You could make the curve with multiple layers of bending plywood. I made a curved door for a cabinet with it but used my vacuum bag during the glue up. It could get costly for you to do that, though, since it seems like you'll need ~60" of material to make that curve so you'll end up with waste.

Alternatively you could kerf cut MDF and bend it over a form. You could probably use ratchet straps to hold it in place while you glue it up. I have not tried this before but I think it could work. On the bottom side, you'd fill the kerf with bondo or some kind of filler then veneer on top. I don't know how the kerf cut method would work for strength, though.

bandsaw cut them from 4/4 about a third longer than you need

then split them in two pieces

drive them home remove the excess

So I have to ask a plumber to do what?

Not much, I suspect. Replacing the plastic would be about the only solution I think (which probably isn't cost effective).

I have found my LV skew block plane to work very well for smaller work and it's useful for many fitting tasks as well. I can get a really secure grip on it. I prefer it to my LV LAJ even though it's smaller, since the skewed blade makes it work so well with less effort

Joining 2 shorter boards to make a long one. The original board stretcher. Next time at the BORG look at unfinished exterior Man doors for a garage or something. Side lengths are frequently finger jointed on the lower priced doors 100 bux + or -.

For regular woodworking I personally can't give you a good use for one though. More a carpentry, construction use.
