Abstract: A log dog having an elongate body that has a log dog first end, a log dog second end, a front face, a back face and side faces. A slot on the side faces extends from proximate the log dog first end to proximate the log dog second end. A row of spaced-apart teeth coupled to the body and defining setting notches adapted to enable movement of the log dog in one direction when the log dog is releasably-locked in position during operation. One or more projections can be coupled to the body proximate the log dog first end and protruding from the front face for engaging a log. Also disclosed are a log dog assembly, a log support and clamp assembly, a sawmill and a kit containing the log dog.

Abstract: Router tables, generally used for woodworking, have fences used to guide workpieces during cutting. The router table has a table top which has a top work surface and a router bit hole through the table top. A plurality of support legs are provided below the table top. A safety shield is positioned above the router bit hole. The workpiece fence has left and right fences which operate independently of each other. The left and right fences slide on the top work surface in a front to rear direction and a side to side direction. A feather flap extends from the workpiece fence and holds the workpiece down against the table top during cutting.

Abstract: A workbench is provided that can be used as a conventional table (for the dining room, for card games, etc,.) and also provides the features of a carpentry and mechanics workbench. The workbench can be used in conjunction with an electric drill to provide the services of a sander, router, bench drill wood lathe, and bench saw.

Abstract: A workbench for woodworking is composed of a foldable support frame for supporting the workbench on the floor of a work shop, a bench top supported on the support frame and composed of one fixed top plate and one movable top plate, a locating and holding set mounted on the bench top for holding and locating a work piece in accordance with the shape of the work piece, and a cutting set consisting of a locating seat, a rotary seat, a fastening bolt, a spring, and a hand saw capable of being actuated to swivel for an angle corresponding to a swiveling angle of the rotary seat which is caused to swivel along with the locating seat.

Abstract: A working bench with quick clamping type cramp device including a bench face disposed with a semicircular angle scale having a cursor and formed with multiple through holes, and a cramp device selectively fixed in the through holes of the bench face according to the size of the work piece. The cramp device includes a main base, an engaging seat opposite thereto and a quick movable clamping block positioned therebetween. A thread rod is connected with the main base and the clamping block. A ratchet crank is disposed on the thread rod. The end of the thread rod is engaged with a one-way ratchet restricting block, whereby the main base and the engaging seat are first locked in the through holes of the bench face according to the shape of the work piece and then the clamping block is quickly moved to lean against the work piece and then the ratchet crank is swung to tightly clamp the work piece.

Abstract: A woodworking apparatus for performing a plurality of tasks upon a workpiece such as cutting, turning, and routing is disclosed. The apparatus includes a table having a table saw, a lathe, and a pair of routers mounted thereto. The routers are mounted in a spaced and counter-rotating relationship such that both a tongue and groove may be simultaneously formed in the workpiece. The table includes a plurality of transverse journals operable to receive a workholder such as a lathe tailstock or the sliding workpiece clamp disclosed herein. The sliding workpiece clamp of the present invention may be utilized during any operation of the apparatus but is particularly useful to guide the workpiece between the routers to reduce the likelihood of unintentional contact with the router bits.

Abstract: A workbench including a work top which is supported by a base. The base includes a plurality of attachment points of which various implements such as clamps, brackets and other accesories are removably mountable such that they are secured to the workbench without requiring attachment to the work top, thereby enabling the work top to remain unmarred, imperforate and in good working condition. The plurality of attachment points allow the implements to be mounted to the base in various positions as desired.

Abstract: Holding members for engaging the corners of base plates of nail plates while wooden beams are force down on the upwardly projecting nails to form a truss are made of resilient plastics material of about the same thickness as the base plate and provided with a self-adhesive surface for fixing them relatively to a preparation table. Each holding member is formed at one side so as to lie against the edge of the base plate at at least two points respectively on both sides of the the associated corner. A comparatively thin supporting layer of harder material may be secured on the upper face or between or on both faces of the resilient material.
