That looks like it would be a beast!

Update: I can't believe I finally found someone else with the same vise. Their's doesn't have pads, and shows no mounting holes for any kind of jaw pad. Hmmm....

Shoot, I just realized that my vise isn't set up for bench dogs at all. I can retro fit it materials I have on hand, but it may require modifying the vise. I was hoping to keep the vise in original condition since it's an antique, and it's probably still possible to do so and add a dog hole...

After some research, I think I'm going to something like this: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?80244-Solid-core-door-work-bench-top&p=813897#post813897 But with a base like a standard Ruobo. I messaged the guy who made that bench to maybe get tips and suggestions on the joining of...

cdestuck - Do you have a pic of your workbench handy that you could post? Did you use two doors or one?

Those are good ideas. I have maybe 200bf of yellow pine, but it's mostly 2x4. I also have 10bf of this good looking pine, which I'm assuming is yellow pine, that is about 2-1/8" x 3-5/8", that I was going to put together with a regular 2x4 to make the legs out of. Is this from experience that...

Oh yeah, I forgot that I had a solid door in my garage also. It's a 80"x35.75"x1.75" door, but I'm not exactly sure of what it's made of... maybe MDF? My question still is out there about whether the Trex can be laminated with wood glue. I guess I have to make sacrifices since I don't have the...

I am once again unemployed and trying to make use of my time doing things I've been wanting to do and using up materials I've horded over the years. 4 years I was given 47 new pieces of Trex (in boxes marked as balusters). They are 1-3/8" x 1-3/8" x 30-3/8" each. I just abandoned the idea of...

I just wanted to say that I've had a Craftsman 101.03582 for 3 years now. I bought it for around $70 and it ran decently, but like with all old things I acquire, I like to clean all the rust off, inspect every part, etc. Well, I became unemployed shortly afterwards, halfway through...

I'm eagerly awaiting to know what they'll have as far as discounts also.

Awesome. That's a great explanation. Thanks for the help.

sorry, I thought 930dreamer said that HE started a thread for me. I was on no sleep, and that's why I said "i didn't know you could do that".

Cool. I didn't know you could do that. I have to sort all of my tools I got. I got a small bucket of like 50 taps and dies... mostly Greenfield. I just need to get some of the surface rust off so I could identify them. But back to my previous posts, does anyone know what that side groove is...

Here's another pic of that last center punch. Anybody know what that indentation/groove on the side is for? I'm not sure what the brand is, but I think it's PRB. I found a PRB tool maker in England on google, but I'm not sure. I could be that it's an old tool made by them. It might not even...

The next pictures show: Huot "Drill Index" 60 bit set from .040" to .228". I'm guessing for machinists. A nifty thread count gauge made by Handy, which will definitely come in handy (no pun intended) M R Co grinder bit (I think that's what they are called) new in the tube. I found the website...
