We love the unique picket-dealt with Bessey Okay Physique clamps. However they turned unavailable in 2008 when Bessey launched the Revo clamps, which had a bigger clamping floor (of about 30 %) than the Okay Our bodies and a gentle-grip deal with that allowed for simpler and extra snug tightening – however we discovered the clamps typically slipped underneath heavy strain, notably if the bars acquired moist (say, whenever you’re cleansing up glue). Plus, the plastic on the clamp heads broke simply when dropped.


Bessey is about to launch the subsequent era of Revos (they’ll be obtainable within the first quarter of 2018), so we obtained a handful of them in for testing, and I talked with Karl Kish in Bessey’s product improvement group concerning the modifications.


The corporate received complaints, he stated, that the moveable head slipped too simply when not underneath strain, and will slide again on the bar to smack the hand of the individual holding it. Bessey improved that slippage situation by including extra play in the way you disengage the top from the rail – it"s a must to carry it larger to loosen it. Properly, that appears to have additionally taken care of the slippage difficulty when the clamps are underneath heavy strain, even after a misting of water. No slippage.


Plus, the plastic has modified. I dropped a clamp from chest peak and it bounced, however didn’t crack.


The brand new clamps will probably be out there in 12″-ninety eight″ lengths, can be utilized for spreading by toolless reversal of the top, have a throat depth of three1⁄2“, a clamping pressure of 1,seven hundred kilos and a load restrict of two,200 kilos – excess of is important in most conditions.

What Happened To ClearVue? Before we get into the assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro cyclone dust collector, let’s address the elephant in the room: what happened to the ClearVue? Just like my table saw, I took the move to Colorado as an opportunity to try something new. One less tool to move and work around as I get the new shop together and one more chance to gain perspective on a different brand. In addition, Oneida offers stands for their cyclones and that’s a feature I wanted in the new shop. So after a few pleasant phone calls with the folks at Oneida, we are now working with them directly on the dust collection solution for the new TWW shop. And just to clear the air, I have nothing negative to say about Clear Vue. Their cyclone served me well for over a decade and I am lucky to have gotten to know the kind folks that run the company. But now I also feel lucky to know some of the great people behind Oneida! Enter Oneida! My sales...

214 - Power-Sculpted Contemplation Bench

Video - February 18, 2014 History Back in the early days of my woodworking, I was heavily influenced by a show called Woodworks. The host, David Marks, would frequently engage in a process that was very new to me at the time: power-sculpting (aka power carving). I was so excited by this process that I drove all the way up to Santa Rosa to learn the technique from the man himself. So what you see in this video is largely inspired by the work of David Marks.

While the bench was only meant as a prototype, I went on to teach a class on the topic and my buddy Tom Iovino was able to write an article about the project for Woodcraft Magazine. Several years later, I wrote an article for Popular Woodworking Magaz...
