Set of 2 - Cutting square bench dog mortises is hard enough when you are building a bench; it is particularly difficult in a finished bench. Yet good dogs make a bench far more functional.
Made from solid brass rod, they can be installed in any bench by drilling a 3/4 in. hole.
Brass dogs are not only non-corroding, but are kinder to your tools if you happen to slip and strike one with a sharp edge. The combined crosshatching and 2° inward slope of the dog face hold wood very securely. The side spring lets the dog slide smoothly, but holds it well at any desired projection.
They are fine for benches with tops up to 2 in. thick and are ideal for use in bench sides; just drill holes in the skirt or the edge of the top. |
