Rocket-Boy Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 great job RB! Cheers to years of great projects!Thanks Cap. I really need to get back on my bike too, spent most of the weekends trying to get this done and fitness has taken a beating.
Ed-Zulu Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks man.That does look very cool, one of the things Im looking at building is a finger joint jog for my table saw. Either that or I need to build a router table and jig it that way.I also need to figure out how Im going to create tool storage behind the bench, though of possibly cutting and mounting plywood to the wall and then making some individual holders for all the bits.If you look in the earlier pages of this thread I showed some of my router table jigs for box-joints. Very easy project with super results in the finished product. Go for it! Rocket-Boy 1
Ed-Zulu Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 PS: Great job on the table, looks professional! Rocket-Boy 1
Stretched@Birth Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Looks like it would strip the screwhead really badly..........Not following? It has a "clutch" which disengages the bit when the required depth is reached. https://youtu.be/n1NHA97dA3E
carrera4s Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Latest addition - Makita 5143R. This will be built into a Table Saw when I have the time. It is a beast - never seen such a big circular saw yet... New price close to R 14 000. I paid R 1600. Good condition.

Good condition.For the price you paid I suppose it's not so bad to build it into a table saw, but that thing has a very decent alloy base for a circular saw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really need to get back on my bike too, spent most of the weekends trying to get this done and fitness has taken a beating. Congrats on your project. My bench has been in construction for how long. With me it has been the other way around. I am so much on my bike on weekends training for the W2W that I don't get no time for nothing else. Did a 30km ride from my home in Strand to Helderberg top and back on Friday afternoon late, and then did a 75km ride to a T-junction just before Franschhoek via Hels and back on Saturday morning. When I walked into my home I just flopped onto the bed and waited for the rugga to begin, so no amount of shavings were made. Edited October 9, 2017 by Moridin Rocket-Boy 1

On the plus side to that I get to see your update pics when you get back on to it. I love seeing what everyone is up to.Im busy planning out a plane storage shelf now and its definitely going to have space for a Veritas LA jack and Im thinking a DX60 too. Capricorn 1

All my bikes sleep safely in my home.That bench looks properly solid, are you going for a roubo type with it?Cant see 100% from the pic but are those rectangular dog holes along the length of it? Nice Campy wheel bag there, I think one of mine might have made a few cameo appearances in my build pics at some stage.
dev null Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Yes, thinking of almost Roubo type bench, but I will have Record Quick-Action vice on front and Veritas Twin Screw on end, like the Samurai's bench. Yes, rectangular dog holes. Base has bunch of beefy mortice joints that are wedged and glued. The stretchers are bolted on. Those stretchers are 144 X 70 beams. The rest is 100 X 70.

My riding buddy, Beattbox, has one that he's owned from new and once in a while he still whips my ass riding it. Edited October 10, 2017 by DJR Rocket-Boy, carrera4s and Beattbox 3

The rest is 100 X 70.You can get quite a lot of clamping width out of a record style by adding wide jaws like I did but that isnt always practical for all applications. That Veritas twin screw is seriously awesome. I still think that square or rectangular dogs are the most practical but very hard to retrofit unless you design them into the build which seems to be what you did.

Irritates my practical sensibilities everytime I see it. DJR and Long Wheel Base 2
