Popular Post Masonsailor Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have had a problem for a while in the shop with the crank handle on the planer. It juts out into the narrow walkway between the jointer and the planer and I have an ongoing set of hip bruises as a result. The solution was to turn a handle that has a wooden tenon that I can just insert into the threaded hole for the handle and only when I need it. It probably won’t last forever but hopefully for a while. Gerald, DuckSoup, p_toad and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gunny Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Love the idea, one question. Where do you put it when not in use? Because if it were me I would lose it if I didn't attach a chain to it. FlGatorwood, Cal, p_toad and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Masonsailor Posted January 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 The plan is to pick up a brass eyelet and tie it to the machine. I will definitely lose it otherwise. Paul Gunny, Cal, Fred W. Hargis Jr and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
