A real nice bench!! I love making benches,though these days I'd certainly have to have a strong helper or 2.

[Harold Burrell]

AWESOME BENCH!!!

I am in the middle of building one, too.

How thick is your top? And...did you mortise the legs to it?

Great job!

[Gordon Eyre]

Excellent work, congrats.

[Matthew N. Masail]

Very nice job on your bench. You'll get many years of enjoyment out of it.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Top is 4" thick, I did mortise the legs into the top and drawbored to secure, without glue should I ever need to pull the top off.

Very, very nice bench. Great job, you will love it. The walnut is very striking. Any left for other projects?

Excellent job on the bench Joey. What are the dimensions of the top?

[Maurice Ungaro]

Joey,
which screw from LV did you use for the wagon vise?

Hi Maurice, I used the Lee Valley shoulder screw for the wagon vise.

Thanks Joey! I was looking at both the shoulder vise screw and the tail vise screw, figuring that the tail vise option is unnecessarily long for a wagon vise set up, but might be perfect for a leg/glide vise. Like you, I have also lusted for the fine vises from Benchcrafted, but cannot justify the expense. I figure if I build mine correctly, I can retrofit it in the future, if ever warranted.
