My apologies to each Steve Miller and George Lucas. lol
I have determined that I have no reputable use for a desk that can be prolonged beyond six feet, so I made the decision that I was gong to clear away the Watertown Slide from the desk and forever lock the front of the table to the again fifty percent alongside with the rear leg and rail section which is ordinarilly stored in situation by how the table slide connected these three sub-assembles with each other. So I got out out my assortment of corner brackets and repairing plates, together with a squirt or a few of glue and clamped it up for 24 hrs and all the things bonded rather perfectly and at this issue, I should really hope to hardly ever listen to it creak or squeak once again.
All of that stated, the slide assembly nevertheless has my keen curiosity since after it was taken off, I took recognize of how this thing may possibly serve as a really neat and special tail vise assembly for my get the job done bench. Significantly of it seems to be workable and mountable devoid of way too considerably drama beyond discovering an suitable vise screw kit to mate the entrance and back finishes together or apart, and be capable to grip a large selection of material styles and dimensions. But the screw kit will have to wait around a little bit until I can receive that bit of it.
Just one of the points that gave rise to this concept of mine was when searching at a decently sturdy lab jack I have in use on my electronics corner of the place. This is one particular of people funky scissor raise models which can regulate from a top of 12 inches down to its ground position at 3 inches tall. A person very long screw travels among each legs assemblies by way of threaded holes in the guidance cross-associates which possibly scissor in or absent from each and every other, depending on which way the screw is turned by a useful oversized turning knob. So I pointed out all that for the reason that I then was wanting at some tail vise screw kits for under bench mount, and just one of those types I saw produced use of a scissor assembly with the vise screw functioning in line and paralel with the scissor but not intersecting with it. This was to aid in gripping unique shapes like our opposable thumbs do for us, but in a far far more restricted sphere of reliable grip…except if the vise facial area boards are built concave, as our palms normally find constant employment, earning a cupping form and grip. So I stated that little bit just now to explain how two independently resizable “serving arms” used as a the desk vise’s scissor benefits of only requiring a single screw to perform the vise motion which can now also grasp irregular designs and act in that cupping motion. But the just one advantage my insane plan can give, (assuming I can come across a 6 foot extensive vise screw really not likely, )I could then have a tail vise that extends out to about 4 and a 50 percent toes, with a minimum amount 3 x 3 inch sold oak exterior front board which will give a performing width of about 16 inches. So anything from a toothpick up to professional sized WWF wrestler could conceivable be placed between the design’s entrance to back ends. I’m pretty certain explained wrestler will foil my evil strategies and have me locked into it when he laughs at my feeble-t. .
As for the claw-foot desk/utility table, I am likely to nevertheless make use of the two table top Mahogany veneered 3/4″ stable spruce core sections by setting up a smaller riser to crate some more storage place involving them and also get the full height of the table up a little bit higher to make sawing a bit less of a strain on my back…or, this increased peak design, may also do the job as an oddball stand up pc desk, which appears to be to be all the rage these times. I will have some photos up of all that plan/plan in the in close proximity to foreseeable future.
The 2 photos posted in this article are the same shot with some unique put up processing on every 1. The bluer history gives a trace as to the original digital camera place in just my gentleman-cave which is promptly starting to be over-crowded from all the equipment that possessing various hobbies and interests will take in in sq. footage and revenue! 🙂
Cheers! 🙂
