Kreg Base with Bench Dog

Lately, I’ve been making a lot of projects using pocket-hole joinery. I don’t have the workbench space to dedicate to a permanent set-up. But clamping and unclamping the jig on my workbench was getting old.
My answer was a simple portable platform. Just three pieces of plywood and a dowel are all that’s required.
The largest piece is the base. It supports the mount that the platform is attached to. A dowel locks it to the workbench (shown in the photo above.). A cleat screwed to the base from underneath prevents the whole unit from spinning while in use.

SAFETY IN THE WORKSHOP Safety devices, such as riving knives, guards on table saws and guards over router bits have been deliberately left out of the line drawings in Australian Woodsmith projects in order to make them easier to follow. It goes without saying that where safety devices have been supplied by the manufacturers you should use them. We encourage the use of push sticks as good work practice.
    Exercise vigilance and the greatest of care when using power tools, whether stationary or portable. Keep all your tools sharp and well maintained. Wear protective eyewear, a dust mask and a hearing protector when appropriate. By limiting distractions and developing safe work practices you will go a long way to avoiding workshop accidents. So, work safe fellow woodworkers.  -Editor
