Another job well done Dan. Keep at it.

 

Dan... I recently picked up a WS3000 and really like your design, especially the shelved dowels retaining the glass wheels. What is your plan for the sandpaper for each disk? Stacking it on the dowel, under the wheel, or stored separately?

 

I store the extra sand paper discs underneath the disc that has the same grit on either side. Hence why I have so many disc. I wanted to have a wheel ofr each grit so I can gradually move up in the grits to sharpen my chiesels. Saves time swapping out the discs as you sharpen.


I used 3/8 dowels and with 5/8" pads the dowels were inserted with a hammer and hit so they sit flush. I did not need to glue them only friction fit.

Do not make the mistake I did and cut your pieces for the side and then decide to put Maple edge ban on. I should have did all the edge ban first and then cut the dados. I had to do it afterwards and thats why it took me so long to make.

I also would place the plywood with the good side facing on the inside so you can see it apposed to what I did.

Jim you reallyl ike this once you get the hang of it. I also bought the wide blade attachment as well ands tore it in the drawer below along with the allan key and honing compond.

 

Howdy stranger, Nice to see you back! Nice job, one day I would like too get the WS3000, so I shall keep this in mind.

 

Hi Jerry been a long time my friend since we chatted. I hope asll is well with you and the family and your shop is full of sawdust! Mine was I just took the air hose and blew it out.

 

WOW...nice job Dan!

 

All is well with us and I just blew the shop down myself. We need to chat sometime just to get caught up on things. Don't be a stranger.

 

I like it Dan. I save my saw dust to put on top of my plants to keep the weeds down. Poor country boy wastes nothing.

 

From one farm boy to another aint nothing wrong with being kind to the enviroment and walking the walk and just not talking the talk!

 

Great Idea Dan.

I like it, I think I'm gonna steal your idea as long as you don't mind. I've been trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with all the disc, and wheels for my ws3000, and the unit itself.


Thanks.

 

Go for it Danny I really like it. I sed it lasy night and setup a new Veritas 4 1/2" Smooth PLane and it worked like a charm. Was nice working through all the grits and being organized.
