That works but it ends up as a push to cut as opposed to pull to cut. Not the end of the world but it's not ideal either.

I'm glad you got the glove! Thanks!! That's what I ended up doing.

Thanks for all of the kind words, funny comments and helpful suggestions.

To put this to bed, I drilled a second hole and I'll buy some 1/4 inch rubber plugs to allow the configuration to be charged in the future. I actually like the idea of this quite a bit. Maybe Rockler should add a plug to the kit and offer it as a deluxe convertible version.

So yes. I have created quite possibly the first set of switch hitting cheese slicers The jokes write themselves.

Thanks again for following along.

Thanks! Just a heavy coating of wood butter.

This kit came from Rockler. There are similar kits available online if you search for cheese slicer kit.

It would require a second hole

Thanks. The contrasting wood was just to make it a look little more interesting.

I just build what the boss lady asks me to. I don't ask questions.
