bjorn rettig Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah! For the first time I'm at the same stage as the videos are. I spend about 8 hours yesterday and 9 hours today in my (cold) shop. Yesterday I finished the base, and today just finished the leg vise. I hit only a minor problem, when I used too large of a drill bit to predrill for the tap holes. Oh well, that's what they made epoxy for What's next in the videos? How many do we have left? The base. Recycled Douglas fir like the top. Unfortunately I had almost no quarter sawn fir left, but it's a base. The leg vise is made from a piece of African Mahogany. The parallel guide is quarter sawn walnut that I had left over from making winding sticks. The roller brackets are also Mahogany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Your progress looks great Bjorn! Well done! Hard to say how many are left. I edit stuff down each week and try keep the videos in sensible chunks. Next is the base assembly followed by the installation and flattening of the top.
