Free Plans: Go Viseless on the Joiner's Bench
Added 2020-02-12 14:49:53 +0000 UTCYou know what? In the rush to get my vise build finished and filmed, I almost forgot that you all need your free plans from Saturday's video. Sorry about that.
Fun fact: at 15 pages, this is longest set of plans I've ever done.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Oh, I know! I ordered a pair of them a couple of days ago - was just interesting that you might be having an effect on the tool business - :-)

2020-02-22 00:10:10 +0000 UTCRex, you're having an effect on the economy! The Gramercy holdfasts have gone up in price since you recommended them - now up to $39.95 + shipping at the Gramercy site, and higher from other places.

2020-02-20 17:25:13 +0000 UTCSteve, thank YOU for being here and supporting what I do. None of it would be possible without people like you!

2020-02-14 11:40:57 +0000 UTCI am older and now merely an occasional wood butcher. I appreciate the whole premise of the channel, cost effectiveness vs new technology. I can afford to buy any tool I wish, but I would have benefited from this channel and knowledge years ago, when I was struggling to support my family and still doing much of my crafting. You make me long for those times again. (Sometimes, well, my memory is feeble, obviously.). I like the juxtaposition of good vs good enough and cheap, and still hold true to the traditional values and engineering. My grandfather was a preeminent wood carver, self taught and displayed in museums in the midwest and Europe, but other than learning to love wood, I am more a technician than an artist. I can make most things, but making it beautiful is not my strength. I lean towards your building model, joy of the media, with a healthy dose of pragmatism. Thank you for your transparency and honesty, Steve.

2020-02-14 07:36:53 +0000 UTCI suggest the Gramercy Holdfast. https://toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/ms-holdfast.xx/holdfasts_by_gramercy_tools

2020-02-13 12:17:23 +0000 UTCI found the Grammercy holdfasts in the next post: If you'd like to grab the products I mention in the video, the Gramcery Holdfasts are a STEAL at $38 a pair: https://toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/ms-holdfast.xx/holdfasts_by_gramercy_tools

2020-02-12 22:06:44 +0000 UTCBe bold! Build one like Pask built last year.

2020-02-12 22:01:07 +0000 UTCWhere would you get a holdfast from? I saw a few online but don't know which one to get.

2020-02-12 20:54:10 +0000 UTCThat is officially the craziest source of scrap hardware ever!

2020-02-12 19:24:46 +0000 UTCIt's totally my pleasure! I'm glad to have you as part of our little community!

2020-02-12 19:21:43 +0000 UTCI absolutely love the plane stop. I'm adding that to my new bench for sure. I'm also making a few of the dowel washer batten stops, those are gonna come in super handy. Happens that I have a few hinges that got nicely mangled by a bear breaking into my bee yard so I'll be all set! :D

2020-02-12 15:26:03 +0000 UTCHow do you get to the other PDFs?

2020-02-12 15:22:48 +0000 UTCOooo thanks for the heads-up! I know how I'm spending my morning off today then 😜 I love Rex's style and substance... and now, his generosity too! He's the type of contributor who makes YouTube worthwhile!

2020-02-12 15:06:31 +0000 UTCYou're in for a lot of great content sir. Check out Rex's past PDF distributions like; the 30 dollar Roman bench, making your own mallet and many other tools. He even made a stool with just three tools and it came out great. It just gets better and better. Enjoy.

2020-02-12 15:02:30 +0000 UTCLong time viewer, first time caller 😁 I just became a patron and a few minutes later, you posted this. That's a great way to start my day! Your knowledge and great instruction have helped me move from an occasional wood mangler to a much more skilled (and productive) woodworker. Thanks for all of your insights Rex!
