 brass spacer bars
I made this set of brass spacer bars after I seen Bob using them on his show. I have seen the idea of something like that used before in the machinest trade, They are called "Joe Blocks", but never really thought much about using them in the wood working world. Somehow, the way Bob used them, they looked pretty handy, so I made a set of them. I made a complete set from 1/16" to 1 " by 1/16's,,, since I have made this set,,, its the first thing I now use in setting up the routers and even use it in setting the depth of cut on the table saw.. and I have use it for other things also like checking a width of a cut like in dado's and rabbits. Now I do not know how I got along with out them.... I also had to make a set for my boss to keep him happy, He used to be our best tool maker there,,, and decided to jump the fence to the white collar side as a maintaince boss, and now they run him into the ground, so he has no time to enjoy the finer things in life... like us poor workers,,, heheheh I tease him a lot by tellin him, "Some of us are woodworkers,,, and some of us are wannabe wood workers".
