Sorry I don't. But i used John Heisz's plans from https://ibuildit.ca/projects/wooden-pocket-knife/

Simple enough for a beginner. Was a good excuse to use up scrap and break out the strip sander.

I think this is typical. They rarely ship me anything within a few weeks of the order (I'm still waiting on an order from a few weeks ago tobe shipped). Really it's just poor service (most likely compounded by poor logistics). You eventually end up getting better results from ebay. It's sad because ...

Was looking at the incra 5000 sled on rockler and just noticed the stock picture has it set up on a shopsmith. Neat.

That is a fantastic job! I love! What wood did you use? I believe it's maple. Its actually scrap from table saw shipping pallets. Igot got them from behind rockler when u bought my sawstop, been drying for 8 months in the garage just to be sure i never tripped the break. If I did it again I would d...

It even has some nice hardware, including a quick removal knob. Granted it is limited in its application due to size, but it's nice. Thought I would share it...

Got my stand for bandsaw set, but one overlooked issue... the motor direction is counter clockwise. Anyone familiar with motor specs that could tell me how exactly I can or cannot change direction? Took a picture of the spec label. This the last bit before my bandsaw gets its own permanent stand. 2...
