While using my Lervad bench i bought at an auction before Christmas, i never opened the doors before underneath. I did last nite. Never even thought to take a peek down there. I found these 3 sets of shopsmith… jacks? spreaders? I tried to looked up shopsmith on google for the pictures, but the only google hits are the shopsmith machines themselves. whatever they are, i like free :)

They hold the boards flat as well as providing pressure for the edge glue-up. -- People say I hammer like lightning. It's not that I'm fast -- it's that I never hit the same place twice!
