Moxon
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I had been wanting to build a Moxon for a while and I finally pulled the benchcrafted box off the shelf and did it. I used local walnut and cherry that I planed straight from the mill. I flattened the cherry top by hand to prove to myself I COULD do it, then power-planed all the walnut.I dovetailed the box and using a plow plane, ran a circumferential groove to receive the inset top. Cleaned up with chisels and a router plane.I wanted to inset a Lee Valley wagon vise in the top, really just to pinch a board while transferring dovetails. I made a template and used a router, cleaned up with a router plane.I drilled a bunch of 3/4” round dogholes and plopped some trinkets in there. The inset vise has some limitations and the stop on the vise end tends to tip out under pressure. I got the low profile “jaws” and they work a little better. It'll hold things gently, but I'm used to my primary wagon vise that will crush nuts. I got a few other builds and lots of tools to post when I can find the time. Thanks for looking and take care.Edit: here's the final product. If you have any questions, I've got tons more build pics.
