The Woodshop Shed

A few shop aids

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


#1- bench riser. Basically three boards, clamps in vise to bring detail work to a non-stooping height.
Clamp board in vise, standing on rails, cut level to desired height. Stand second board on bench, cut level to height of #1, fasten. Fasten on top. It will even take a little pounding directly over the supports.#2 Vise table. This gives a flat surface in a cluttered area. Clamp a stick in vise, glue on a board. I had to add a filler later to have the vise handle in a good position.#3 Blower. I believe this was for inflating air beds. Hose is I think used for outdoor fountains- about 1” diameter. Random vacuum crevice tool taped on. Blows a moderate air stream that works well to clean the dust & shavings off the bench, chopsaw, etc. etc. without unduly raising a cloud of dust.#4 Not a shop aid, more comic relief. Went to get a couple of free foundation jacks listed on Craigslist. Expecting something like in the foreground to add to my collection, but they were these behemoths- this is the lighter one & it weighs 50 lbs.
