I guess my public must be pretty huge then.

Hey Tom, that's coming along quite nicely! Starting to look like the real McCoy. Well done!

Looks good & sturdy - isn't that what counts?

Maybe it's just the picture, but does the front vice line up with the dog Hole? Just curious.

By "front" do you mean the one on the end? If so, yes it does.Originally Posted by Steve Wargo

Where did you get that front vise from? Your bench is coming along nicely.

Great bench!!!
Tom, good job on the bench. Clean up a little glue, do a little sanding, apply a coat of oil and it is good for a lifetime of use. I love my bench that I made and it is one of my "essential" tools.
Is that a shop dog in a couple of the pictures or a stuffed animal? Hard to tell. I miss my little yappy shop dog.
Good looking bench.

I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......
P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

Hi Aaron,
The vises are from an outfit called "Wholesale Tools." They are knockoffs of the standard "Record" type vise but cost only $19 each for the seven inchers, and about $29 for the larger, (9? 10? 11? inch), model.
Here is the website page showing their locations. http://www.wttool.com/Merchant2/merc...23fd9c7e293b87

Tom,
Nice looking bench. One word of warning though is, if you are bashing on something on your bench like pounding in mortises, make sure that you dont have one of those pine knots under your work. It will most definately leave a dimple the size of the knot in your work. (DAMHIKT)
Keep up the good work,
