The miter machine needs to be remounted to use the tilt. The tilt of the vise was to allow drilling and nailing of the miter corners. Being tilted made fasting of the joints a lot easier.

After I commented on your holdfast "hammer", I went back on your site and found this. I think I will give it a try. Like you, sometimes it take a real whack with my mallet to set the holdfast and it doesn't do my mallet any good at all. Rick

I used a mallet until Chris Schwarz wrote about using a lump hammer a number of years ago. I tried it and liked it. I don't have to hit it so hard. I use it for chisel work as well. Although sometimes I use a lightweight mallet for delicate work. Take care, Darren

Thanks. I hope you enjoy them. I drive to The Woodyard in Concord, Georgia. It's a 3 1/2 hour drive but worth it. There isn't anywhere around here I know of worth going to. I've used a couple local sawmills and ended up with bugs. There's a place in Headland - Headland wood products - but they wouldn't let me pick through the stack to get the boards I wanted, so they're no good to me. I hear Jubilee in Mobile is really good.

@@dothanalabamawoodworker6766 , Hello my friend Darren, I also like watching other people's ideas and videos because I test and/or modify other people's ideas. I struggled with workshop hardware, you always have to renew or enhance the stock, I like your workshop, I started small myself and took the plunge with a larger workshop that I was able to acquire with the help of the state and my work, with my colleagues we refurbished the old all-voltage electric motor winding factory. The ground floor as a workshop, the offices on the first floor and on the second my accommodation, 3 x 2000 M² and the workshop is still improving the small arrangements that remain to be made, I wonder if I would have enough of a life to do what I still have to finish.....thinking big is good but not at any price. Best regards my friend Darren, best regards Alain from Belgium.
