This is based on an article in the March 2005 edition of Woodworking Magazine. It is designed so that it can be used on either side of the hook. Just flip it over.
I was also playing with miller dowels. I’ve had some sitting around for a while and this was a good opportunity to play with them.
The hook is made of poplar and it is 6” x 8”.

Thanks. It is a commercial bench. One of these days I will build my own.

Shoot Wayne, I thought I was finished!
Nice job!
I am wondering if I should run a recess in mine to allow for the saw to break through without touching the hook? ( less wear and tear on the unsharpenable blade)
What do you think Wayne?

Ah, this refined guys from the city that need all the luxuries available to them… tsch tsch! ;o)
Jokes apart, nice job Wayne. Now, I work with the ”dozuki” in the traditional way the ”daikusan” do: sitting on the tatami or on a low stool and holding the workpiece within my feet most of the time…
OK, it could be very romantic and fancy seen from across the pond but I don’t like at all to work in such a way. Alas, I don’t have a dedicated workshop space so you got to do what you got to do.

Those dowels add some nice refinement to a utility piece. Nice job! Anyone that works with smaller pieces should make one of these. They make life, oh so much, easier.

Pretty smart project! But no wonder-I see the IAMS bag, and practical as a COSTCO shopper it looks like.

Great, thanks for posting this. I’ve got a ryoba that I use all the time, but I haven’t gotten around to building a bench hook for it yet. (Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve been using my shooting board rotated 180 degrees as a bench hook!)
