You remind me of the Old tool users back 1950's and earlier who mostly only had hand tools and doing what they had to, to get the furniture they needed.

Now all you have to do is cut a tree down and mill it all up by hand and them make the furniture. 
Yes   Please make sure you take pictures of that to.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

The Ash came from a friend's woods....he has another friend with a bandsaw mill...they go "Halfs" when a tree gets dropped.   That is where I go for most of the hardwood I use.

Project came from a 12' 1 x 6 skipped planed Ash board....and 10' of a 2 x 4 of Ash....both from the same tree.   Other than the plywood for the shelf, and a couple Walnut plugs, everything was made from just those two pieces of Ash.
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Yea. Needs some TLC for sure.
I've got a pickup bed, level full of pine construction scrap. If you were closer you could have what you need.

Not much got done today...
Rolleyes 
   
Flattened the face of one jaw...
Cool 
   
Removed the old jaw from the moving half of the vise
Cool   
   
Clamped the new jaw into place, pilot holes drilled, threads waxed up...#12 flat head slotted screws re-installed...I left the new jaw a tad high..
Cool 
   
I figure when the rest of the vise is rebuilt..I can plane both jaws to match each other...I did lay out for dog holes
Rolleyes 
   
Have the right size bit...will hold off until vise is rebuilt..in case things move a bit...Hmmm..12. or ..14" brace?
