Is there a place I could find the plans for the cookbook holder viewer project. It was the modification to your magazine rack. I think I’m going to make these for Christmas presents. thanks and have a nice weekend

Looks like an old Grizz catalog. The golf cart and bucket truck are on different pages in the current one. Time for a new catalog, Mike! You shouldn’t cook up a new project with an old cookbook.

When I’m not woodworking, I like to cook. There are commercial cookbook holders on the market. None of them hold a candle to Mike’s! I see at least one of those cookbook holders in my future…

Thanks. That was my thinking. Takes a lot of concentration to watch the line constantly for a board longer than 6″. lol

Personally I always prefer the full fence method. I like my resawing to be as “brainless” as possible, lol. The pivot system is nice but you have to steer the whole way. The full fence method requires a little more work up front, but pays off in the long run.

Hey Mike, neat idea. My wife has wanted a cookbook holder and I have been racking my brain to come up with a design. Great adaptation of Marc’s mag rack. And so simple. I will make one soon.

Gotta try my luck at resawing with my new Grizzly G0555 bandsaw.

And speaking of resawing:
Marc, for cutting 3/4″ down to 3/8″, do you prefer the “pivot point” or full fence method? (keeping in mind that I don’t have the Mondo size bs that you do :-)

I have an email out to Mike letting him know his project was posted. With any luck he’ll read the thread and maybe be so kind as to send over the Sketchup file. If he does, I would be happy to post it for you.

And thanks for clicking the link. Much appreciated!

THAT would go over VERY well with certain people of the wifely persuasion… and looks quite doable for my still limited skill set…

Any chance of posting Mike’s revised Sketchup file, so I get the proportions right?

Kudos to Mike for taking it somewhere new, and thanks to Marc for the original.

I will now show my thanks by following a sponsored link from this page… kinda like the look of that small scraping plane, for example…
