While probably completely unnecessary, just like me, I followed up with a 4-1/2 smoothing plane to make the surface that nobody will ever be able to touch perfectly smooth.įrom here it’s a rinse and repeat process for the other three wide faces of the top assembly. With an aggressive set, the board is traversed in various directions to remove the high spots. In all seriousness, this is a TayTools 5-1/2 Jack Smoothing plane that is arguably the best bang for your buck in the hand plane market. The weapon of choice is a 6.9 pound iron paperweight that also conveniently shaves wood quite well. Here you can see the amount of cup that needs to be removed before I can glue these together. The one board is cut into two bards plus firewood. The saw I’m using here is a 0.37 HP BearKat with an off-grid calorie-burning power plant. The first step in this build is to crosscut a 2×12 southern yellow pine board for the two pieces that will make up the top. As Henry Ford once said, whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. If you think you do not need a workbench to build a workbench then you are correct. It’s kinda like “what came first? The chicken or the egg?” The truth is, if you think you need a workbench to build a workbench then you are correct. You see here that I’m using a workbench to build a workbench. – Plans for this Work Horse (included with the MatchFit version): Īs I begin this project allow me to tell you a little secret. Before I begin, here are a few helpful links pertaining to the build: In this video and article, I’ll show you how I made another Work Horse but this time focused on traditional workholding options. It combines the workholding capability of a workbench with the portability and form factor of a saw horse.

If you want something more steampunk, maybe use a clock as a bench meter. These are great old meters and well worth their cost and bench space. This is one of those components that would be very hard to source, but luckily it was good in the donor meter. The issue with the meter turned out to be cracked glass in a thin film resistor network that had caused the resistors to change values. The patents give a good overview of how it works and are linked in the post. The meter uses a patented recirculating remainder A/D technique. Perhaps they were hand matched, but perhaps they were not, which could cause lots of measurement errors. ![]() For example, a matched set of JFETs gave way to four individual FETs. Someone had already worked on this meter and there were some suspicious mods. For that reason, took a meter with a broken display and used it to source parts for another meter. The biggest problem with repairing these meters is that there are several custom parts including the display that are essentially unavailable. recently updated a log about repairing such a meter, and there is a lot of good information about them if you own one or are thinking about one. They are built like tanks and are surprisingly affordable, especially if you consider what they went for when new. A case in point is the Fluke 8842A, solid meters with 5.5 digits of resolution and the ability to do two or four wire resistance measurements. However, old meters can still get the job done at a price that you can actually afford. It will probably even use an operating system. In today’s market, and expensive high-precision bench meter will have a host of features: graphs, alarms, averaging, and more.
