I made myself some shop appliances wich i think are very useful(for me they are) and i would like to know what sort of appliances you are using to make life in the shop easier.
I made 3 shooting boards ,a normal shooting board, one for miters and a Donkey ear for long miters.
I also made a benchhook for both western as japanese style saws, a Dovetail aligment board and some winding sticks.
Like to see some pictures of your shop appliances.

Hi Juryaan.Thanks for posting pictures of your shop appliances.I particularly like the long mitre board I think i am going to make that one .The only problem is in a small workshop where do you keep all these Jigs?
Hi Ken, i keep my jigs under my bench because my shop is also very small.

Hey Juryaan,
nice jigs and the dovetail alignment board has very nice dovetails! Actually I saw one yesterday for the first time at a youtube video from David Barron on houndstooth dovetails. I liked the idea of it although I like the minimalist way with the plane and fingertip alignment.
Have you got a plan for a donkey’s ear? I would like to make one, too.

Good looking shop appliances!
I see a David Barron marking gauge too, nice work
Thank you for the positive comments guys.
Florian ,i also saw this on David Barron’s you tube video before i made mine ,he also sells them at shows.
I don’t have a plan of the donkey ear shooting board,i saw Shannon Rogers of the Handtool school making one and really liked it.(see picture)
Stephen, my workplace is not a big place and i have to share it a few days a week with laundry that hangs there to dry in the wet and cold times wich is about 3/4 of the year here in Holland so i try to keep everything a little bit organised.
It took me awhile to get used to but now i always whipe my tools with a oily rag (lots of moisture in the air) and put them back where they belong before i leave.Works great for me and i always know where my tools are.
Lee,that is indeed a marking gauge from David Barron, i also have his marking knife.
I really like his tools and hope to get one of his planes someday.

Juryaan-
Nice work. That is the first time I’ve seen a dovetail alignment jig. I’ve just been using my finger tips to line them up, but have always wondering if there was more of a fool-proof way.
So far I’ve created a single (long) shooting board, a simple bench hook for sawing, and a 24″ saw vise that gets clamped in my bench. All are made out of hardwood ply with solid wood stops/jaws. None look quite as nice as yours, but they do what their told. I do need to make a mitre shooting attachment and maybe a donkey ear. In one of Jim Kingshott’s DVDs he shows his appliances (including the stanley style shooting board he reproduced) which are quite nice.
My appliances live on the shelf under my bench. In my opinion, a shelf under the bench is a perfect place for those. Paul’s bench does not seem to accommodate that, but perhaps they could hang from underneath somehow.

I have two friends who live in Eindhoven, and the typical house there is a narrow townhouse (row of houses next to each other, built as a single structure) with two floors. They always made very clever use of their tight space. Still seems spacious compared to the typical apartment in Manhattan, or better yet – Tokyo. 😉

Juryaan, those are great looking tools/jigs.

Looks great!
I need to build a bench hook and, a shooting board. I want to make a shooting board like the one in Paul’s video on the subject.
I’ve got a long list of things I want to make for my shop.
1. A bench. 🙂
2. A saw bench (horse or whatever).
3. A shaving horse.
4. Bench Hook.
5. Shooting Board.
6. Wall-hung tool rack.
7. Tool Box
8. Sharpening Station
9. A high Joinery Bench.
That’s not in order or anything. 🙂
