Swiss Army Knife Work Benches
Am I just becoming a curmudgeon or have we entered a world of Swiss Army Knife workbenches with so many appliances built in, complex vises everywhere, different trim woods and so on that the benches have, at least to my eye, lost functionality. I know everyone has different needs because they have different styles of working but I've always figured simpler was better, less stuff to get in the way. A perfect example is the sliding deadman. I admit there is one on my current bench (I had to try it), on the new one it is gone because I seldom use the deadman yet I'm moving it around every time I work on the bench what a PITA. A bench jack will do the same job and stay out of the way until you need it. I will not go into some of the other stuff I've seen while looking at threads on workbench builds.
I've had my say, it's time to take my meds and crawl back out to the shop where there are four legs waiting to be trued and glued.
Oh . . . hmmmm . . . I suppose there could be something I hadn't taken into account

Are you telling me your work shop is situated near the brink of the event horizon of a black hole and so the laws of physics, as we ape descendent, twig technology loving connoisseurs, understand these "laws" . . . that . . . the laws of physics do not apply in your shop ?
Is that what you are saying here ?
What is this theory that you have ?
I'm just glad I didn't "take advantage of" that same real-estate opportunity or I too would find myself tipping over the threshold and so would also find myself believing all manner of strange and scary things to be true and right just before my molecules were torn apart and distributed to parts unknown.
:):D:p
Remember Dylan Hunt
He spent 300 years trapped and frozen in time on the brink of the event horizon of a black hole
Dylan was rescued when the Eureka Maru attempted to salvage his ship the Andromeda.
I fear you may not be so lucky. Reverse ALL engines full power NOW before it is toooooo late.
