Indeed.. I suppose it would be good to have metal ones as a back up for
high stress situations.. But for just planing or other operations where blades are at risk of getting dinged by the metal ones, I hope these will work. We'll see.. wrote in message ...

According to what I've read leather is easier on wood and grabs better. Looks pretty neat. I guess I just have one question and that is how much stress is a wooden dog like yours able to take? I'd be apprehensive of it breaking off. Guess you'll find out. |

I was thinking of designing a low level metal dog that uses some sort of rubber or metal hood on it. Think condom (ok, a very, very thick unused condom) to protect your plane blades from colliding with said bench dog. |
