calmly ranted:
A hypothetical for your ponderment.
A wooddorker finds a bit of spare space in his yard^H^H^H^H shop, and
decides to quickly erect a stout bench from the materials at hand.
I know a few people who have screwed themselves that way, too.
DAMHIKT. squeak
Let's say the wooddorker finds some somewhat straight, and somewhat
cheap dimensional lumber at the local BORG and sets out to build a
functional bench from green douglas fir (not really a fir, but this is
common usage and I don't really have time discuss vagaries of the
various conifers for sale locally, though they are an extremely
interesting species), complete with carefully cut/milled/trimmed
square dog holes for a beefy iron bench dog.
Birdseye SPF? Wunnerful!
And let's further say that as the wood seasons, the bench dog holes
shrink, making it impossible to use the beefy bench in the bench.
How many times did we tell yo^H^Hcertain people that 1) ROUND DOGS
RULE! and 2) PINEYWOOD SUCKS!, hmmmmm?
*sigh*
Condolences to the sorry suckah suffering from that tale.
DAMHIKT.
Maybe you could mount it in your two-piece WorkMutt and...
LJ, who just finished making two replacement spacer bars for his
carving bench.(A coupla kerf-widths between tenons makes quite a
difference after all when the stiffener is in the middle of a 39"
tall leg.)
