V Y ubit lengthy. Which,for themost

part, is okaywith me.After all,when

it's cold andnastyoutside,there's no

placeI'd rather be than down in the

shop building a project.

However,the old adageis true -

yolJ can get too much of a good

thing. So when the snow finally

melts and spring arrives, I'm readY

for a change - a change in the

weatheranda changeof pace.

Now don't get me wrong, I still

want to build projects. I'm just

looking for something a little dif-

ferent to work on.

cARDtNARB0R.

This project started off the same

way many of our shoP Projects do -

with a wish list of features.

First, to prevent overheating the

tool, the grinder had to run at a low

speed.Second,we wanted to elimi-

natethe expenseof buying a special

motor. Third, the grinder couldn't

take up much spacein the shoP. And

finally, it had to include a tool rest

system that allows you to quickly

andeasily get a perfect hollow grind.

The solutionwas to use the table

saw.We connecteda pulley and belt

to the saw arbor to produce a low-

speed grinder without buying a sepa-

rate motor. And since the grinder

sits on top of the table saw,it doesn't

require a stand that takes uP extra

floor space.Finally, the base of the

grinder made a perfect plafform for

adding a tool rest with a micro-

adjustment feature.

Now I have to admit that what we

came up with is a bit unusual-

looking. (I still remember the look

on everyone's face when they saw

the first prototype.) But you can't

argue with the results - this tool

produces an almost Perfect hollow

ground edge.

Hollow grinding the bevel gets

the tool sharp. But to get it razor'

sltarp,you'll needto hone the bevel.

Fortunately, this is easy to do and

doesn't take much time. For more

information on creating a razor-

sharpedge, be sure to check out the

sharpeningarticle on page28.

The garden arbor

featuredon page 6 provided just the

opportunity I waslooking for. It gave

me the chanceto spenda little time

outside.And it offered an interesting

challengeas well - a chanceto try

my hand at building a large project.

(Ihe garden arbor stands about

eight feet tall, almost six feet wide,

andfour feet deep.)

V\rhilethis is the largest project

ever featured in Woodsmith, don't

let its size fool you. It's designed to

be built in small sections, none of

which are complicated to build. In

fact, there is very little joinery

involved, and it's all quite basic -

mortise andtenon and half laps.

StopBlork

Normally when I have to

cut several pieces the same

length, I use a stop block

on my miter gauge, or I

clamp a block of wood to

the rip fence of my table

sawto useasa stop.

But recenfly I rvasmak-

ing a project that calledfor

several short pieces.

Becauseoftheir smallsize,

I hadto comeupwith abet-

ter (and safer)method for

cutting these pieces.

So what I did was to

make an altogether differ-

ent kind of stopblock. My

stopblock is adjustable and

hasa runner that fits in the

mitergauge slotof my saw,

seephoto at right.

The block is madeup of

two pieces of 3/+rr-thick

stock. A couple %o'Lthick

spacersare glued between

the two pieces to create a

slot for a bolt, seeFig. 1.

Then I cut 30' bevelson

one end of the block. This

createsa blunt "ooint" to

Epoxybrad in slot to

preventscrewfrom turning

butt your workpieceup to

whenusingthestopblock.

Therunnerconsfuction

is similarto that of the

block,except

center of the runner for a

machinescrew.

Amachine screw,awash-

er, and a plastic knob are

all that's neededto secure

the stopblock. By tighten-

ing the knob, the machine

screw spreadsthe runner

apart slighfly, locking it in

the miter gauge slot.

To prevent the screw

from spinning in the hole

when tightening the knob,

I epoxieda wire brad into

the screw head.The brad

fits in the slotofthe runner

and locks the screw in

place, see Fig. 1a.
