Has anyone here made one and, if so, what type/style? Would you make the same again? Care to post a pic?
I have started the John Stevenson design, www.metalwebnews.com/howto/toolpost/toolpost.html
but with modifications;
I don't see the value of the second dovetail as I'd never store a holder there and if I have to rotate the toolblock, that will be as easy as removing a tool holder anyway. Opinions?
I intend to raise the toolblock above the center of the head to allow the full dovetail to be supported in the tool block.
Thank You, Jerald Ware
