Dog Holes Drilled

Dog Holes Drilled:


It's 1000 in the desert and I'm already on a 15 minute work 15 minute cool off schedule. A couple of honeydoes first then I expect it will be geeking, pool time and maybe a little time on the sharpening bench working on some new Japanese chisels until the Sun goes down.

    1. Ralph,

      Made and used a jig, see previous post. Even with a jig it is a PITA to drill 'em. Once the shelf is added the bench will be complete. I debated drilling dog holes because I expect to try and sell this bench to make room for another I have planned but in the end I want to use it and it may not sell for awhile. Bottom line a bench is pretty useless without dog holes.

  2. My new bench will have one hole for the Record hold fast. I don't really need the hole for it to be perfectly 90. I tried the jig Richard Maguire used but I didn't get the results he did.
