steady jig
got some multi ply that is very stiff
i think it is 3/8 and made a steady jig along with some roller blade skate wheels used wing nuts on the bolts to secure it to the bed and then made a small wrench out of wood or course not sure how i got by without but i found anything over 13 or 14 inches depending on the species was not producing good results and this jig really makes a big difference had not thought much about the speed of the wheels and it turns out that it did not matter as the wheels are going slower than when they were on the skates |

I doubled up two 3/4" plywood and it is as steady as a rock. One question, for the group, "How do you post a picture?" |

One question, for the group, "How do you post a picture?" Since it looks like you're posting from Google Groups, you'll have to upload it to a server somewhere and link to it here. Google has an image sharing service or you can use one of the others. Puckdropper -- http://www.puckdroppersplace.us/rec.woodworking A mini archive of some of rec.woodworking's best and worst! |

If you look, you can see the fitting that goes between the ways on the bed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0q8quo7bwv..._2391.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/oe2dz3zvqh..._2392.JPG?dl=0 The ring is doubled up 3/4" ply, the arms are 3/4" walnut and the rollers are off an inline skate. |
