March 25, 201214 yr comment_31853 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.

March 26, 201214 yr comment_31855 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 Report
