ok this is a shot of my nested jig for the hold down I made for myself there are four hold downs for the “nest” and two to hold down the hold down being machined
here you can see the underside of the hold down after it has been machined you will notice the three facets of sorts so you can angle them to your work. after this your simply flip the hold down over and mill the two slots and you have a completed hold down
this one is kind of fun because I have my own code / shorthand for the bits. I wondered if anyone can read what i am saying here lol probably not since i am kind of weird. each “BIT BLOCK” have however many bit i keep of that kind, for example i keep five of these so when i get down to two left through wear or breakage i order the five pack again. and the vcarved label lets me know right away what I am seeing. each groove has two magnets underneath each one so the bits do not fall or clink together and since they are separate blocks, I can rearrange them in the drawer which make it handy to the task at hand and very rearrangeable
these little Christmas tree candy dishes made great girts throw in some mini-M&Ms and viola
I mde this for a person that just had a baby she loved it.
more hold downs and some in use. It seems I have only made small projects, so I have plently of room for multiples this is my newest baby this band saw has been great It seems I had to buy it because i could not get 3/8 oak that i needed for those darned coasters and my old bandsaw that you can see in the background simply did not have the power to cut 6inch wide lumber into re-sawn lumber i just had to spend a few dollars so now i can lol
ok that is my new year’s marathon of posting and the final pics of my vertical holding table with no vertical holding actually going on.
