people who owned a power
miter saw were professionalcabimet-
makers and
him
carpenters. And
their choices were limited to just a
few models. Not any longer.
Take ahipthrough the tool aisle at
your local home center, and youll
probably 6nd a dozen diierent
models of power miter saws. Some
tool catalogs have even more. And I
counted over
35
different models on
a large tool retailer's web site.
It's easy to see why these saws are
so popular. They make fast, accurate
miter cuts, and they're becoming
more affordable all the time.
If there is a drawback to these
saws, it's that the table is relatively
small. Which makesit diflicultto sup
port long workpieces.
To solve thisproblem,we designed
a new miter saw station with sliding
support blocks that
can
be locked
into position wherever you need
them. Then, we added a quick-
release fence system with a sliding
stop block for accurate cuts time
after time. And best of
all,
the whole
system worksjust as well outside the
shop on a pair of sawhorses as it does
in the shop. Check out the article on
page
16
and see for yourself.
Help
Wanted.
One of the reasons
thatwe're able to featureprojects like
this is we have talented designers
that turn ideas into great projects.
And now we're looking for another
project designer to join the August
Home team here in Des Moines.
?his position requires an in-depth
knowledge of furnituredesign, wood-
working joinery, and home construc-
tion. And the ability to generate com-
puter-aided drawings and supervise
project construction.
If this sounds right for you, please

Sawhorses sure come
in
handy
for a lot of tasks around the house.
But since
I
have a small shop,
I
needed a sawhorse that wouldn't
take up much storage space.
So I
came up with this design for a
folding sawhorse. Its plenty strong
and sturdy, but when ifsnot
in
use it
folds up flat and
can
be stored
against the
wall,
see
inset photo.
I
used "two-by" stock
to
build the
sawhorses. Start by making a tem-
late
to
help lay outthe angles on the
legs, as shown
in
the
detail drawing below.
Then you can cut out the
four legs and lay out the
miters on the ends using
the template. After
mitering
the legs, cut a
couple of notches in each
leg to hold the rails and
stretchers. To complete
the legs,
drill
a 3/8"-dia.hole near the
top end of each leg for the mounting
hardware that
will
be added later.
The rails of the sawhorse are
beveled along the
top
edge to create
a
flat
surhce when the sawhorse is
opened, see detail 'a'. The stretchers
are simply cut to length. But notice
that they are both a different length.
This allows you to offset the legs so
the sawhorsewill fold up flat
Once the
rails
and stretchers are
cut to finished size, they
can
be
attached to the legswith screws.The
stretchers are positioned so that
their ends are flush with the side of
the legs. To determine the posi-
tioning for the rails, see detail 'b'.
Fially,
the two halves of the

Vise
on
Lathe stand
2ssxsA

In
order
to
make room
in
my small shop for a wood
lathe that I recently purchased, I had to get rid of an
extra
workbench. While I
didn't use
the bench all that much, I
really missed the machinist's vise that was attached to
it
But then it dawned on me that I could still use the
ALIGNMENT
machinist'svise by simply mounting it
to
thetailstock end
of the lathe, as shown in the
drauing
at right
Not wanting to
drill
holes in the lathe bed,
I
mounted
the
vise
to
a piywood base and then fastened the base to
the lathe with carriage bolts, knobs, and a couple of
clampikg
blocks, see
drawings
at right An alignment sbip
on theunderside of the base assists
in
positioning thevise on the lathe bed.
Most of the
time,
I
I
just leave
the vise attached
to
my
lathe.
When
I
need to use the
M
length of thelathe,
it takes only a minute
to
undo the
knobs and remove the vise.
