What did you make today?

Nice!

I don't see a single western saw. Aren't those Japanese saws awesome? The one I have is the only saw I use. My grandfather's western saws are all hanging there, but never get used.

The first tools up are the ones I actually use, so the western saws are still lying around until I find a home for them. The Japanese saws are so easy to use, I can't find a reason to ever get the others out.

I just realized there is a vintage Rockwell circular on the shelf. That's pretty western... although I use a Makita.

Thanks, I'll have to take a real picture sometime my tablet is handy but the photos are kinda crap.

This project started because I needed a vise... I got a nice PA made Littlestown 25 but then I needed a place to mount it. Snowball effect.

Some of the greatest things have been created in preparation for building something else.

Definitely worth the time glatt. It would be a great father-son project. I get so pissed off when I can't find a tool that this should support my zen as well.
