    Hand shaping jig

    I fastened a piece of 1x 6 pine to my existing work rest, about 16" long to use my jig. Then I took a piece of angle iron about 6" long, drilled and tapped two holes on one side. Then threaded two bolts into those holes, and tightened them with two nuts each. With the angle flat on the...
