Project Information
This is an update to my previous project - with this one my intent was to strip down the design and mechanisms to make it more comfortable to use, easy to assemble and control, clear shavings more effectively, and more reliable in its ability to hold settings. It's also practically tool-less - I just need the same allen key to tighten the fence rods.
I'm really pleased with how it turned out and i think i was successful. The design is just so much simpler - no odd angles, and no mortising required (other than stopped holes for the thumb screws)... everything is either drilled or through-cuts. Picture #6 is of the guts, but the design is so simple it's almost superfluous.
