264771 William Ghio <bghio@m...> 2018‑01‑22 Bench stop wedge
I don’t know if it has any other name and am too lazy to go thru the old books
to look for it. It’s just a flat piece of wood w/ a vee cut in it. stock is
wedged in the vee w/ a shaped block and stuff is locked. Very handy for edge
planing.  Anybody else use one of these?

Here it is w/ three drawer sides being planed to a uniform height —

Here it is holding a short tall piece —

and here it is in pieces —

When not in use it hangs conveniently from a nail on the leg of the bench. I
just knock the wedge in place and hang it as a unit.
