Along with the walnut and maple that I used for the bookcase, I also picked up a grab bag of scrap cutoffs from Peachtree Lumber. One of the real gems in it was this:
The sloppy drilling on the original vise jaw was the result of the vise not coming with a template to help layout exactly where the holes go. I sort of eyeballed it. I thought of a better solution this time:
Now thats a vise!
Heres a closeup of the beautiful grain of the poplar:
Im probably going to do a little surgery on the actual bench itself to make it even a little more rigid, but that will be another day.
In the last post I mentioned my affinity for Bosch tools. Well, apparently someone at Bosch is paying attention because immediately a free Bosch plunge-cut blade for my oscillating tool showed up in the mail. Im not kidding.
Now, this might have something to do with an Internet special promotion I signed up for a while ago...but maybe the tool industry has recognized the influence I wield with this blog and is engaging in a little *wink**wink**nod**nod* quid pro quo.
If that is the case, let me just take this space to express how much I continue to enjoy Bosch power tools...and Lie-Nielsen hand tools...and Lee Valley...and Spax screws...and Gramercy saws...and Ive never used them but I hear Festool power tools are really nice. Also, a lot of the wood that God makes is really awesome. All my readers should go buy as much of all these things as possible.
I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
