Moxy-lite vise enhancements
Bill Tindall, E.Tn.
These spacers, one pulled up so you can see it, have been handy for dovetailing drawers where the front is much thicker than the sides and the sides are ganged together for sawing tails but not the back pin board- three thickness total. What has surprised me is how quick the vise is for getting pieces in and out that are the same thickness. A partial turn of the handles tightens or loosens. The spacers lessen the time to switch between the 3 thicknesses.
Roger Lance, Savant of jigs, showed this jig for holding a drawer side and end in registration for transferring tails to pin board. A fatal drawer mistake is having it not sit flat and whether it sits flat is determined by this transfer. This handy jig insures the ends and sides are in the same plane.
The jig is accommodated by the vise which holds the jig and the pin board. The tail board is held in position for marking by hand.
