Moxon Vise on the cheap
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 I was wanting to learn how to make dovetail joints and get some practice. I asked LJ what type of vise would fit my basic workbench and that is where I first heard of a Moxon Vise. Not wanting to invest a huge amount of money on a learning project I settled on the following. All ideas are from others and none are my own but it worked out.Two Gold's Gym dumbbells $7.95 ea.
One nice maple board $65.00
A couple of 2×8 frome Depot $ ???(not much)
Four 3/4” bench dogs from Woodcraft $15 (I can't remember if that is per pair)Anyway I had gotten a jointer on the cheap $150 and was itching to try out my new planer so I gave it a go. Finished it today and only have two unfinished items. 1) Cut a bevel between the two dog holes on the front jaw to make room for the saw on half blind dovetails. 2) what finish if any to put on it (seeking input here).Thank to all for the suggestions here at LJ on this project….my first!

Display case for my wooden models
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Gents, it has been a long time since I posted anything so this should make up for lost time. I decided to make a cabinet for all my models (my daughter calls them my tonka toys). The cabinet is made out of pine 3/4” boards with piano hinges on the doors. The size is 8' long and 54” tall. I used 1/4” plexi glass for the doors and side windows. Each shelf is a different height by 1 to 2”. Then I used my harbor freight hvlp gun and sprayed it with 4 coats of high gloss polyurethane and sanded with 320 grit in between coats. I have plenty of room for more tonka toys. Lol. Well enjoy the pictures and tell me what you think.
