Yes I had a new hobby for a while. I call it theoretical woodworking. After 3 years of internet surfing about dog holes, benches etc you think I would be sorted. Time will tell

End cap tenons.Set wobbly Mak 9 1/4 to tenon depth approx 30mm ( by miracle). Width of tenon set by a ply jig which I clamped to the bench. Cut once each side. Put wobbly bu##er on the ground. Unplug. Count fingers and move on.

I elected to chisel out the waste. Flip over and repeat

LN 140 Skew used with the side removed to clean up the tenon. Looks okay to me.

Marking out and setting up for routing out for the cavity for the Benchcrafted tail vise.
IMG_1043[1].jpg
When the timber was milled and glued together I planned to have the piece with the natural edge to be the cavity that was going to be routed out to house the vice. Planned it well length wise as most of the natural edge and late wood will be routed out. However width wise the cavity due to the natural edge will be 3mm too wide. I will go down about 10mm to where I can create a ledge so to speak and then put a 3mm piece in if required.

The routing out of the cavity went well

This one piece of recycled timber cleaned up pretty well. Its either Blackbutt or a pretty good match and was destined to become the dog hole strip (but more on that later)

I cleaned up some more and most of it seems to be blackbutt so far. So I made a backup doghole strip blank due to some snipe and I also decided i might need to practice the routing bit.
I made a couple of changes to the plans I had for different lengths of timber .The plan calls for a 100mm deep end cap. The two ways I thought I could do this was laminate some of the recycled timber side by side on the widest face but no dice as it would only yield 90mm deep max. I chose not to glue 3 pieces on top of each other on the widest face as i was concerned about the strength of the joint when i routed out the middle for the end cap. After some head scratching and making sure I had enough timber I cut down two of the legs to become the end caps. I also began milling the timber to laminate to make the replacement legs.

In preparation for the dog hole routing I reviewed the video from the Benchcrafted blog and Marc Spagnuolo's TWW videos- probably for about 2 weeks or more (whilst i put together the dog hole template, found the screws to hold on the template guide for the bosch router and dig out the triton router from under the table).
The process described here and is as per the video here. Benchcrafted recommend hogging out the centre waste then following up with a centre cutting end mill - four flute. Spagnuolo uses the pattern bit. As i dont have and end mill i decided on the pattern bit. This decision was made after a discussion with a chap who sells both end mills and router bits. The pattern bit was made from a 1/4 inch shank 1/2 inch router bit with a bearing and stop secured on.
After i went to Clarendon to see the rally as recommended here I was ready for work.

Stay tuned, more to follow. Have a guess if you like on what happened next.

I'd go for a bit more clamping pressure.
My guess is that the template moved and you had to press the spare length of timber into service, but with more/better clamps.
What do I win?Those were the droids I was looking for.

So what did happen well...
Attempt number 1:
IMG_1067[1].jpgIMG_1068[1].jpgIMG_1069[1].jpg
top view view from bottom view from top
Initial thoughts:
Router 1 ( Bosch + spiral): The climb cut at the bottom wasn't a climb cut and the tear out occurred- ok so keep practicing this and try harder next time
Router 2 (triton plus "pattern bit" there was some movement of the depth gauge knob on the triton casuing the lip best seen in the view - ok so tighten the knob
there was some operator error in setting the template as there was a small lip at the top of the cut between the top of the bit and the bearing - ok so check the set up
there was some operator error in using the plunge function - ok so keep practicing this and try harder next time
