I got reminded of "memories" on Facebook of the assembly table/workbench that I made. It started off with a bunch of Baltic birch boxes from an auction of a Sam's Club where I got the whole wine display rack for less than $8. Besides the 30 or so boxes, I got some 2x4s, some plywood, a box of 100 or so square-drive screws, and a metal rack that I gave to a friend who has a feed supply business. I used a jig to cut hand-holds in all the boxes, that became drawers to hold supplies and most-used tools. If needed, they slide right out and can be carried where needed I made the top 4'x8', so I made the base so it would come apart with just a few carriage bolts. Everything else is slip together joinery that easily comes apart if and when I need to move it. I also finally got a place to install my Emmert's patternmaker's vise. It rotates 360 degrees, tilts up to 90 degrees, and can be adjusted to hold tapered pieces. I had a couple tracks to use with my Rockler hold downs and Matchfit clamps. Here is the "after" during

so i pride myself on having spares, i have two band saws, both same size however one will resaw larger than others, and the small delta i relegate to fast simple work, and today i was cutting rounds, had a dozen to cut, so went out got ac started early, ended up in shop after breakfast and finally got to the band saw, and managed to cut a few and bam, dang blade broke at the weld, now its well used, can't complain, but it was my own fault put a little too much ummfh on it pulling jig off saw, blade bound up and well we know, so i figured no big deal, dug thru the blades, and low and behold not one 3/16 wide x 10tpi, had every thing else, for really rough cutting, so now a trip to rocklers hoping they have a blade, issue is i will spend some retirement $$$ , just cause of some dang new shiney happy sunday Rj in az

I have some T-tracks on my work table and drill press table. They work fine with my MatchFit clamps. But I'm wondering about hold downs like these, I think I can probably just saw out some from some scrap wood and they would work just as well. Has anyone ever tried that? I, of course, would look for some scrap where the wood grain would follow that sort of curve.

I had to get a bunch of shelf-pin holes in the current cabinet I'm building. I used to use a piece of pegboard. a drill bit, and some masking tape. I threw out the particle board when I moved. So I looked into something a little more professional. Kreg only did 5mm and I have a bunch of 1/4" supports in stock. Rockler had a bunch of options, most of which need a special self-centering / depth stops. Well, then I found this one on half-price sale for the price of one of the drill bits. And it works for both 5mm and 1/4" pegs. It also seemed to make cleaner holes with my mortising bit than with the drill bits. Used it today and did 140 holes, 5 at a time. https://www.rockler.com/rockler-shelf-pin-routing-jig
