Carver’s Sub-Table
Carvers may wish to fabricate a sub-table from

plywood to raise their workpiece to an ideal height for
detailed work.
A sub-table fi xture is particularly useful for engravers
and chip carvers.
The sub-table shown in

.
The center hole allows a Veritas
®
Carver’s Screw
(05G08.01) to be used to secure delicate work. One of
the many advantages of the sub-table is that it allows
the workpiece to be removed from the bench for storage
without having to dismount it.
The builder may wish to make the sub-table larger or
alter the height for a particular application. The base
can also be left open on the front to allow access to the
carver’s screw without dismounting it from the bench.
Constructing a Simple Tail Vise
You can construct a low-cost, high-value, home-made
accessory for your Veritas Workbench system using a
Veritas
®
Wonder Dog
®
clamp (05G10.01). Most useful
in pairs, they convert any part of the bench edge into
a set of tail vises with a capacity nearly equalling the
length of your bench.
