March 25, 201214 yr I made a new bench hook this weekend. Took about an hour used scrap on it as I did my first one (on the left). This time I added a kerf that should add stability as both sides of the board are supported. It should also limit blowout. It's reversable so I can wear two sides and extend the life a bit. Good, Better, Best never let it restTill your Good is Better and your Better is Best.
March 26, 201214 yr Nice job. The kerf helps a lot. I have three on mine. One for square cuts and two at opposite 45 deg. angles. that I use for small pieces of trim.Adam WelkerRed Car Construction and Fine Woodworking
March 26, 201214 yr This really nice Mark. I have to admit, the first time a saw a Bench Hook was on the Roy Underhill show when he made his. And it was only for planing.I did not realize the bench hook could be adapted to various tasks including sawing as well. This is really opening up a nice dimension to expanding the capabilities of our benches. Great job Mark!!! I have a couple in the works as we speak!John MorrisThe Patriot WoodworkerProud Supporter of Wounded Warrior Project and Homes For Our Troops
March 26, 201214 yr Author I haven't had much need for the 45 degree yet so I left it out for now. I did make a 45 degree attachment for my shooting board though. Good, Better, Best never let it restTill your Good is Better and your Better is Best.
