Placing a Miter Box on the Workbench
In placing a miter box on a workbench considerable space is often wasted, and the workman is obstructed. By raising the miter box on the bench mounting it upon two blocks, about 6 in. high and set back about 18 in. from the front of the bench, small space is utilized, and the tool may be used as conveniently as otherwise. The space under the miter box and the open space in front of it are available for the disposal of ordinary tools, and there is no danger of the saw striking them. By making another stand, the height of the bearing surface of the miter box, and moving this about on the bench, long pieces may be handled with ease. This stand is removed from the bench when not in use.—Henry Simon, Laguna Beach, Calif.
