Popular Post Masonsailor 1,843 Posted January 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14 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. Gunny, Steve Krumanaker, Gerald and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Gunny 53,412 Posted January 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14 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. p_toad, FlGatorwood, Cal and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Masonsailor 1,843 Posted January 14 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14 The plan is to pick up a brass eyelet and tie it to the machine. I will definitely lose it otherwise. Paul Cal, Gunny, p_toad and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Piece of PVC pipe with a bottom made to it then mount to your machine. This way you don't tie yourself up, again because I would do that.
