If you check out the most recent post, you can see that I am working with Mark Hicks to produce the wood kit, but I do not know what that price will be yet.<br /><br />In the past I have bought and sold complete chevalets and the price averages $2500.<br /><br />W.

When doing the paper test I described in the post, pressure should only be pressed on the paper around the "V" notch in the clamps. The area of pressure should be about 1-2 inches in diameter, max. <br /><br />The lower part of the jaws should not be touching, since many packets have elements which would catch on the jaws as you manipulate them. <br /><br />The concept is to have only pressure where you need it and as much clearance as possible where you don't.<br /><br />Hope this answers your question.W.

All of this could be lost if someone did not take the time to write it all down. Thank you Pat!<br /><br />I do have a question regarding the clamp adjustment. On mine it only pinches along the top, how far down the jaw should it pinch? in other words how far down should the jaws be parallel? I hope this makes sense.<br /><br />Thank you again.<br /><br />FrankFrank Strazzahttp://www.heritagewoodschool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695685403802703716.post-6596671517675567172012-02-28T09:14:33.938-08:002012-02-28T09:14:33.938-08:00If you add a cup holder and fill the cup with Peet...If you add a cup holder and fill the cup with Peet's coffee, it will add a boost to your cutting...<br /><br />I measure my coffee by octane.W.

Was not aware of the changes wrought by time and usage to the chevalet. You more than covered a number of items of interest and yes, I use the keyhole test you taught me to verify squareness of my "portable" chevalet. My saw has an idiosyncrasy so it is necessary to mount the blade high in one clamp and low in the other to get it square within the frame adjustments. That coupled with other amateurish construction attempts helps to make it an alignment challenge.<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting and enlightening post!<br /><br />ChuckChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930774450598057038noreply@blogger.com
