Worksharp modifications

Post by Gene Howe »

A contributor over at Lumberjocks did some pretty ingenious stuff with his Worksharp. And, his video is pretty funny, to boot.
If you have a Worksharp and would like to make it even better, here's a link.

The worksharp got pretty interesting recently because they released a bar mount which can accept all the Tormek and Jet style jigs.

Thanks for pointing out the "Blue Collar Woodworking" videos. I've really been enjoying them! Although, while watching Episode 1 part 3, I couldn't help thinking "His life would be so much easier with a Shopsmith or two!"

I've "talked" to him about that and he had considered it at one time.
His loss.
