Over the past week or so...have noticed to bench vise is getting a bit loose in it's mountings...as in a couple of the #12 screws have stripped out..Decided against tearing apart that end of the bench...was bad enough 2 years ago...I did have a bit of Ash 1 x 6 left over...not really enough for any Projects...sooooo...

7/8" was a bit too thick...set this up, with the blade as high as it would go...still not high enough....even after I had cross cut and ripped to size...D8 rip saw to finish things up
[attachment=47024]
Thin part can be stashed away, somewhere...The idea being to install this slab right over the jaw of the vise...and run a few screws into the "good wood" in the end cap..
[attachment=47025]
But, in order to do that..I needed to remove the movable half of the vise...then drill and counter-sink a few holes..
[attachment=47026]
Nothing in the middle, because of the steel platten of the vise is there,,,
Before I put the movable jaw back in place...a drop of 3in1 oil on both rods, and the first 3-4 threads...NOW it operates with just one finger!
Gave the "new" vise a test run...

Wentworth No.1 plus it's 2 x 8 stand....a lot of weight sitting there...trying to see how steady this will be...Saw?

12" Jackson, 14 ppi....will need a spotlight on the teeth...
[attachment=47029]
So...in the time it took to write this up..

Saw has been sharpened up, test drive showed no binding...Wood is just pine...
Should be good for another 2 years? have to decide which saw to do, next....
