Instead of the extended shaft for the handle, I used a large woodscrew into a pilot hole in the handle, whilst the handle is being turned in the lathe. The head of the screw is removed and the slot for the blade cut by eye, seemed to work ok. If the slot is cut first, the hole for the retaining pin is easier to drill at right angles by placing a shim in the slot, lying the screw horizontally in the drill vice with the shim resting on the top surface, and the drill should then be perpendicular. I havn't seen your plan, but this was simple and obviated the need for a carrier plate. Instead of a tensioning screw, I used twisted cord across the top of the frame, and a flat wooden splint which contacted the central bar, to prevent unwind. Worked very well and you don't need to find the small spanner under the shavings. The shoulders of the tenons were rounded by eye, to allow for the tensioning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828841434164621076.post-77640668320646701522009-05-22T08:52:33.832+01:002009-05-22T08:52:33.832+01:00Look out for a entry then on the Blog with full de...Look out for a entry then on the Blog with full details about my shoot construction...glad you like it.Woodblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573880625129679293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828841434164621076.post-58433608818385851692009-05-21T13:17:49.746+01:002009-05-21T13:17:49.746+01:00While I came to check out the progress on your saw...While I came to check out the progress on your saw, I'm ending up asking for more info, pics and whatever else you can offer about that great looking shooting board you have there. I've been looking for an old one by Stanley, but viewing the image showing yours, I'm starting to have second thoughts.<br /><br />Great stuff on your site, by the way.<br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />MitchellMitchellhttp://theparttimewoodworker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828841434164621076.post-27501891799367848242009-05-20T10:45:04.745+01:002009-05-20T10:45:04.745+01:00That's a neat idea for doing the stringing, Rob. ...That's a neat idea for doing the stringing, Rob.
