[Mike Davis]

That makes sense that I wouldn’t know that.

 

[Martin Roper]

I was able to borrow one a while back for my MFT-style workbench. It was amazingly accurate.

OK I am SO glad someone asked what this was - I had NOT a clue!

Even Google sent me to Parfait after several attempts to change its mind......LOL

Ok need to go sell sandpaper now! Thank you.

Now that I know what it is it turns out that I also have one if you need it and if I can find it buried in my messy shop.

Thank you Ken, let me know if you can find it.

I found it. It was actually where I expected it to be. It is the Woodpecker's Hole Boring Jig.

Hole-Boring Jig

Woodworkers around the world have embraced the idea of a work surface milled with a gridwork of holes. Dozens of companies (large and small) produce devices that fit into the grid to hold your work. The milled work surface itself is available from several companies, often as part of a workbench...

PM me your address and as soon as I find a box that it will fit in, I'll put it in the mail to you. No rush returning it as it is not something I will use very often.

PM sent

 

[KenOfCary]

I'll send you a tracking number once I get it in the mail. Might take some time to get to you during this busy shipping season.

 

[KenOfCary]

Got it sent today. Should be there Tuesday. Sent the tracking number via PM.

Sure is nice to live in a small town. Only two people in line before me at the post office. If I was still in Cary it would have taken two hours to get to the counter this time of year.

In thinking about it, I will never use it again so no need to return it once you're done with your project. If you no longer need it just pay it forward and give it to somebody else that can use it.

 

[Hmerkle]

Thank you SO much Ken and hopefully I can find the next person who can benefit from it!

Don’t mean to hijack, but I’m going to start building a carving bench and this was one of the things I just started looking for when I saw this thread. Happy to borrow, buy, whatever. No rush, as I’m still in the design stage.

John,
As Ken mentioned we now have a NCWW Goodwill Woodpeckers hole boring jig: Hole-Boring Jig
You are next in line!

 

[JRedding]

Thanks Hank. I think you are within about an hour or so of me (I’m in Charlotte) so just let me know when you’re done. No rush at all.

 

[Rushton]

Hank and John, if possible, I'd like to get in the queue to borrow the NCQQ Goodwill Woodpeckers hole boring jig. I'm now down in Huntsville, so I'll reimburse for shipping.
