Drill Press - holding wheels (knobs) and small parts

Niki

Good day

When I had to drill wheels (knobs) and small parts, I used hold-down clamps and other combinations that where "big" on the small wheels...but, no more...

The idea came from other shop-aid that I made for cutting small pieces on the table saw...so, why not on the Drill-Press (I think that you call it different in UK).

So now, the DP table is clean from all the clamps and hold-downs and here it is...

BTW, How you pronounce one L and double LL....sorry for the speling mistakes on the pictures... Embarassed

Best Regards
niki

Another good one Niki,

Maybe you SHOULD write a book,your Jigs always seem easier to put together, and use basic workshop bits and pieces......

all hail our resident Jig Meister,Niki.... Very Happy

Thank you Neil

Book???....only when I get old and not be able to go to the garage... Smile

Of course my jigs looks easier and made of basic materials....come to Poland and see what we have here...nothing (and that's a lot), I cannot find even a T-track...

We have here only the machines but there is no kind of, woodworking supplies like you have in UK.
The woodworking hobby is still not so popular here and, if no demand...no offer...

Thank you so much Brian

Actually, I was not even "good" at school...you can see my spelling mistakes Embarassed

When I type the text on the pictures, I don't have my "friend"...the spelling checker Smile

The pictures of the jigs you make are excellent brilliant even, Cool

I know I'm speaking as a novice Embarassed

but some of the other popular jig designs are so complicated, and require so many different things to make them that I don't even try. Yours however are made of basic materials that we can obtain cheaply, if we don't already have them. Don't worry about your spelling I'd imagine your English is 100 times better than most of us know Polish Laughing

Thank you Keithhickson

My Polish is also very bad... Laughing

As I replied before, the resources here are very poor and as they say in the Israeli army "That's what you have and with this, you have to win"...

Oh, and even with my 13 years in the hobby, I still find some of the popular jigs too complicated for me... Embarassed

Gin dobre, I am a complete novice to woodworking, its been a notion since I was a wee boy to 'make stuff' from wood, I'm now 42 and just starting out, reading your stuff Niki makes me weep, I never had the money to buy tools and gadgets for all these years, and now I realise that its been a lot of time wasted-when all along I've been blind to 'ingenuity'-mans greatest gift, keep rolling Niki, your a star !

Nice one Niki, it's always good to see an intelligent and simple piece of design.

Shalom! Great one Niki! L and LL, in England they seem to be pronounced the same, here in Wales it's very different, and I wouldn't even attempt to try and write the pronunciations!

Me too Mick, but how the Devil do you describe to some one how to pronounce 'Y' 'FF' 'F' 'D' and 'DD'? Laughing
