Another jig out of the PTWFE

Every once in a while I just have to build a new jig of some sort. Well the latest one was super simple and done with a scrap of plywood. And this is it:

So what is it? What tool is it used on? Where is the drawing located in the PTWFE (either online location or page in the book)?

I know a few of you will either know this from having built it or from having looked at it so I'll let you have a shot at answering the questions. If no one does then we know that no one is really interested.

My guess - extension for edge/drum sanding:

Well you got that right and very quickly... great job!

In the hardcover book (4th edition) it is on page 240.

I haven't gotten to use it yet... and I have a problem. The wife and I were out at a hardware store to get the wing nuts. The two I needed came packaged as 2 for $.98, or a box of a 100 for like $5.50 or something like that. I put the 2 pack back and grabbed the box of 100... So she goes why are you getting a 100 when you need only 2... I say the price is so much cheaper by the 100... but what if you loose them before you use them up????... but I may never have to buy wing nuts again....

Well to make a long story short I've lost the box of wing nuts without even opening the box, so I don't even have the two I need... she really knows me too well. So I hope I turn up the box soon or I'll have to sneak off to the hardware store and buy the two.

So glad to hear that others admit to having so much 'stuff' in their workshop or garage that they loose things like a box of wingnuts.

reible, looking at the background of your pic it could well be my garage!

PS: I'd get 3 packs of 2 'cause I would surely loose 1 wingnut in the process.

Hi forrestb,

Looks like we can share the pain and glory of our shops....

All,

The good news is that I found the box of wing nuts. It was pretty much in the open but with so much good stuff around it was hard to spot. So the jig should be operational. I want to at least test mount it to make sure the holes are where they should be and I didn't mess any of the measurements up.
