GLOAT - a $7.33 git bench!

>Does someone have a close up photo of Frank Klaus's lovely little flip up saw stop device? Would like to add it to my git's bench. Which he gets for his birthday today.

BTW getting to build a bench for a GIT is a gloat in itself, but my total investment in this bench is $7.33.

The wood top is construction cast off from a custom home's main beam, the legs were all dunage from a local lumber supplier, the stringer is wood from the FIL from his bull pine trees. I picked up the sears WW vise for $7.00 from a blind lady at a yard sale, and 1 lag screw for $0.33 from the local Ace independent.

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.
