Extremely Average #219: I made another jig

Good idea! I’ve been clamping my belt sander in the vise. A jig would work better.

I like your jig! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar, but I’d like to get the body of the sander completely submerged, so to speak, in the jig, so that the jig could be used sort of like a “sanding jointer,” if you can follow my logic. If I ever get to building it, I’ll post it so you can see what I mean.

Robb,

That is a good idea. I don’t have a jointer and have been using my router table as a jointer. I just add an aluminum piece which is 1/32 thick, just past the bit. I beveled the plate and then I clamp it to the fence. It works pretty well.

Dennis

Dennis,

I really need to give the Japanese hand saws names. I did use one of them the other day, to cut the walnut down to size. I still love them.

nomatter how much I realy want to help you with japanese names I´m blank there
I know they have a big historic persons way back
may bee you can bee inspired from the serie Shogun or other movies that have a historic
time stage (or what ever the right name is , I´m not a moviemaker lol )
or from one of the new cosmic albums with this new way of making drawings
short easey spelled names there isn´t too strange for our ears :-)
