Veritas Platform Saddles

I just stumbled on these while having a look at the Dieter Schmid website:

Any thoughts? I reckon they are the sort of thing that might be nice to have in reserve as you never know if they would come in handy.

These could be made simply out of ply and blocks. You could make the gaps different to suit different width timber

Fair enough. I just thought they looked like the sort of thing useful enough to find a place in my biscuit tin for odds and sods.

For the money I think they are a good idea. We can all make alternatives ourselves but the reality is that I for one will tend to make do rather than stop off a project to make a proper solution

I shall keep my eye open for a piece of scrap ally channel - a shower surround or something ............

I do similar with lengths of scrap wood. My main bench doesn't have dog holes, so if needed i'll clamp to the edge of the bench. I have a few that have been made true and surfaced with clear packing tape for glue-ups, but most are just scrap and considered sacrificial to whatever tool is operating above.
