evening..
Has anyone built this monster of a bench themselves? I am half way through at the moment and have come to a slightly confusing piece of assembly.
I cant decide how Norm wants the dedicated mortiser to sit on the bench. He seems to be telling me to cut out a section of the bench top, and place a block underneath to support the machine. Not sure I am 100% following his thoughts.
Has anyone seen/recall the programme? Its been a while since I saw it (no pun intended). It might only be the hardboard he wants the space cut into, but it does state both hardboard and ply should be cut out. This would leave a huge great hole down into the drawer below.
Would be handy if anyone could remember how the bearded one finished this part of the bench off.
Also, it would be useful to know what size chop saw he intended to use, as the unit clearly fits back onto a wall, but you would lose a great deal of space behind the saw extension boxes if you were to use anything that was more than 5 inches from back of saw to the centre of the blade. You need the clearance behind the saw from the wall you see. Hmm I didnt make that very clear..
All help, suggestions greatfully received. I might have to cut a box section out of the workshop wall to allow the chop saw rails at this rate!!!
thanking you...
