IMG_0715.JPGMoxon vise 42 viewsThis is build to drop into the dog holes along the east edge of the bench. With a 20" opening between the screws and a 6" capacity, it can handle most all drawer boxes I would likely work on as well as any dovetail joints.Charlie Driggs

IMG_7278.JPGmy shop's traveling pegboard13 viewsThis storage center has been in my shops in three houses, and supports easily several times its own weight. It is suspended from the floor joists above on two aircraft-style multi strand cables, and should one of those slip, the whole board would only drop less than 1/4" inc onto the benchtop below.
Items on this board include braces, drawshave, perfect handle and cabinetmakers screwdrivers, marking gauges, hand drills, gimlets, try squares, steel rules, metal shears, drill & screw sizing gaugesCharlie Driggs

IMG_6685.JPGdetail of the older leg vise screw mount38 viewsThis may look a bit rough to some, but it is definitely a cleaner installation than the way it was mounted on my grandfather's 80, 90 or more years main bench. This one works quite wel. With two leg vises on the south end mounted 'in plane', it is quite easy to hold short sections (3-5 ft) of lumber for sawing to a line, although the height isn't ideal. Also very useful for holding items when needing to run round tenons with one of the hollow augers.Charlie Driggs

IMG_0799.JPGhold down storage along the west side of the bench41 viewsThe stretchers were a major stiffener of this bench, as until these were added it would rack a bit when planing large boards. Adding them created storage for items otherwise awkward to fit close at hand.Charlie Driggs

new_glue_pot.jpgnew glue pot -- a chocolate melter in its normal life201 viewsThe old glue pot is dying, and had to be replaced before I could finish this veneering project.
The new one is a Wilton chocolate melting pot, which I've equipped with a cover made from a plastic coffee can top mated to a vacuum cleaner fan impeller and an old wooden knob, with a candy thermometer through the top. Seems to hold temperature in the 140-150 degree F range very nicely. The non-stick inner pan lifts out, and should be much easier to clean up. Cost is about one quarter of that for the made-for-purpose glue pots.

Galootaclaus-WC-2007-2.jpgTop view of bowl118 viewsWhat is not even close to apparent with this shot is the delicacy of this bowl. Wall thickness is nearly uniform, on the order of 1/16th inch / 2mm. The cracks readily seen, aren't readily recognized as filled with a dark material to enhance the contrast. This was turned from an ash blank, and in doing so, Galootaclaus Walt Cheever demonstrates a skill I don't have and definitely appreciate!! No way this is going in my shop - far too delicate!Charlie Driggs
