I use golf grip tape available at most Golf stores and i use it for well re-gripping clubs. I have even used it with templates for the router. One advantage of the golf grip tape is the glue desolves with mineral spirits. If there is a problem with residue some mineral spirits takes it off.<BR/><BR/>GeorgeGeorge Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511373925197443383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-59464845479875202912009-04-08T22:20:00.000-04:002009-04-08T22:20:00.000-04:00Carpet tape sounds like a good idea.

For drawer sides I keep the piece long, i.e. many sides from one long piece, clamp it to the end of the bench/table at the end opposite the direction of the 'travel' of the plane. At the other end, one only needs some minimal clamping/or benchdog to prevent it from moving sideways.<BR/><BR/>AlfredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-65328234704161057432009-04-08T19:21:00.000-04:002009-04-08T19:21:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-56511821317292915752009-04-08T08:02:00.000-04:002009-04-08T08:02:00.000-04:00Hi, Kari,Sticky tape is OK but has the habit of le...Hi, Kari,<BR/><BR/>Sticky tape is OK but has the habit of leaving residues, as you thought and in my experience, the bond fails when you least want it – i.e. when you are applying the most force to the smallest piece of wood!<BR/><BR/>Back to your bench holding problem; from the round 3/4” dog holes, you are (probably) using Veritas brass faced dogs?

Search the Lee Valley site, they have two widths. I have also used this as a means to hand dress the bands for shaker boxes. Tack down the right hand end (for a righty) and plane to the left. Lift the left end up enough to slide on your calipers and check when you are approaching the right thickness for that size box. <BR/>Brilliant blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-66088235639492212352009-04-07T18:58:00.000-04:002009-04-07T18:58:00.000-04:00@David - I do this currently with my Stanley 50, b...@David - I do this currently with my Stanley 50, but the spacer to use my 45 would be 2" thick.Duanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549294799826838203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-26810193042511288322009-04-07T18:47:00.000-04:002009-04-07T18:47:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments, everyone!Jeremy, I saw yo...Thanks for the comments, everyone!<BR/><BR/>Jeremy, I saw your fishscaler holders when you first posted them on the forum--I bet they work great. :o)<BR/><BR/>Mark, how did you guess?
