Rich Waugh Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Mine tend to be any chunk of scrap with a hole drilled in it. Quick and dirty. I keep threatening to make a real bolster block if I can ever find a piece of 2" plate about a foot square. Drill a series of graduated holes in it, chamfer them and put it on a sturdy stand. Also have a shorter stand for "floor" use when squaring tenon seats on long pieces. Someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Ron it should be thick enough for the type of work you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
