The Guy in the Brown truck just stopped by. Before he was driven away in terror for his life by my vicious watch-beast, (:p see my avatar :p ), he managed to drop off a little parcel for me.

Pretty cool, eh?

Jigs and fixtures :D -- mostly for sharpening stuff.

Examples:

[1] I need something to hold jointer blades -- as well as other short blades -- at the correct angle to put Scary Sharp edges on them.

[2] I need a really adjustable tool rest for my bench grinder.

[3] I just like to tinker. (I probably should have been an engineer, but I slept through 11th grade math and then never thought I had the time to make up for it. At this point that's probably true, but for a long time it wasn't. Oh well.)

Finishing that stuff is the pits and be careful how you mount it in the lathe... ;)

On the plus side, I hear it's pretty termite resistant.
