>Yeah David, I had found that link, but don't quite understand something about it. One one side of each jaw there seems to be just a dowel for the pivot, BUT, on the other side there seems to be a tightning nut, and that is what is not clear to me. I'm also not clear on weather or not the foot pivots or not.
The only thing I can fiqure is that on the side with the nut there is a hanger screw in the jaw itself, so that it can be tightened up in various positions.?

>Hey Todd,
There was an article in PWW called Cheating at Chairmaking (or something to that effect) a couple of years ago which outlined some plans for a pony...and a travisher, and drilling jigs etc. Really good article and I will try to dig out my copy for you.

P.S. How close/far are you from Miami? There may be a short trip in my future.

>I think I'm about 6 hours North of Miami. You'd be more than Welcome to come on by, I;m in Jacksonville. Give me a shout wen things are more firmed up, and we'll see what we can set up.
I thought it was PWW mag that ran that article, I'm going to look thru my back issues. IIRC it wasn't to long ago. I let you know if I find it.

At any rate I found it! :~)

Bill, for cryin' out loud man, educate this dumbell about this online index.
Did I spell dumbell right? Dumbbell? Dumb bell? Dumb as He!!? ;~)
Well, it's a nice day, so hi ho, hi ho, it's off to the shop I go! :~)
No Brittany, you don't need to say Hi back to me I was merely singing a song, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh! What a uh oh, here we go again, dumbell.
Thanks Fellas,

>Follow the link in my prior message. SEems you can ask three ways: keyword, date, author. I had to dink around, because Pop WW apparently used just "chairmaking" as a keyword for that article (note to Chris Schwarz: hire yourself a true librarian, guys; a well-made index is cross-referenced to the extreme, and I should have been able to find it by "shaving pony," too).
