Obviously I was wrong.<br /><br />On mine, I've had to turn the base 180 degrees. That way I can tip the table far enough forward to get an angle of 60 degrees. This should allow me to get the 30 degree bevel on the mower blades that's needed. I also lengthened the base to 6-1/4" so that I could get clamps on it instead of bolting it down to the bench top.<br /><br />I love the simplicity of it all and the best thing, mine has risen from the scrap bin!<br /><br />So you on LJ!GFYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966663529887789873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-39330107425362853352011-07-24T11:57:58.389-07:002011-07-24T11:57:58.389-07:00@Chunk: The base has two upright supports, and eac...@Chunk: The base has two upright supports, and each one of them has a hole for the pivot pin. Then the platform has the piece on the right that you tighten the knob onto, and a little "ear" on the left. Both of those parts also have holes in them for the pivot pin. So the pivot pin goes through all four holes.<br /><br />The overall height of the piece you tighten the knob onto is 3". That's 2-1/4" (the radius of the big curve on the bottom of the part) plus 3/4" (the distance from the top edge of the part to the pivot hole).<br /><br />Hope that clears everything up. If not, ask again!rmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233272687408131584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-43099426743535409662011-07-24T11:27:55.568-07:002011-07-24T11:27:55.568-07:00Ok so am I looking at this wrong?

As it's shown in the drawing, wouldn't the pivot go on the outside of the left upright?<br /><br /><br />Also, what's the dim on the right hand piece? The piece that you tighten your knob onto? I can seem to find a height of the piece.<br /><br />This is a great idea! I'm making one but need to modify the design so that I can tip the table "into" the wheel for sharping mower blades.

Th...@Ian: I see what you mean about the step-down. The problem with a longer platform, though, is that it would sometimes get in the way. Think about sharpening a chisel, for example. That step-down gives clearance for the handle.<br /><br />Somebody on <a href="http://woodtalkonline.com/" rel="nofollow">one of the other forums</a> pointed out how easy it would be to make multiple secondary platforms suited to various tasks, and to then simply swap them out as needed. So this is one place where you can have your cake and eat it too!rmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233272687408131584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223053823435077760.post-30852032691634980582011-02-22T09:27:17.901-08:002011-02-22T09:27:17.901-08:00Another good idea.
