Bench Stop

Many times just a simple stop is all needed for planing straight-ahead. It is fast and has the advantage of avoiding distortions in the piece closed between the vise and dogs, especially in the case of reduced thickness. It is not difficult to build one cutting a through mortise (1"x 1 1/2"ca.) in which a plunger slides; its section is very close to section of mortise and its long enough to be easily adjusted by a wing nut screw system placed under the bench. One shown in the photo is the glorious Record 169, easy to fit in any work bench.

Miter Saw Bench Installation

Even with time off of work for Christmas, its been a busy week here in the Plotke household.
Luckily, I have managed to get some time in on the shop. Finally, my miter saw is in its home.

New Yankee Workshop Workbench Leveling and tray installation

I made the bench feet with some scrap 2x4 that I had leftover. This turned out to be a bad idea because it made the bench really wobbly. I cut some new feet out of some 3/4" stock and then shimmed 2 of them and the bench is solid as a rock now. I also screwed in the side boards and the tool tray. My should vise screw also came in the mail so it is time to make the tailstock!

I flipped the bench over so I could work on the feet.

I removed the feet one at a time so I could use the old ones as a template for drilling out the screw holes in the same place.

I used a stop block on my mitre saw to make the 2 1/2" squares.

Old foot and new foot for comparison.

I used a cereal box to make some shims.

One foot took 3 shims and the one diagonally across took 2.

The center of the log board going down the length of the tool tray was slightly bowing so I screwed in a small support.

I screwed the tray down first and then screwed the side into the support.

Here it is ready for the tailstock and bench screw.

Speaking of bench screws!

I picked this one up at leevalley.com for about $38 including shipping.
