    A few questions about the deadman. I'm just curious what is holding the deadman in place on the top side, is that another v groove detail? How much leeway do you have in making the groove? If its too big and sloppy does it really matter?

    The top runs in a 5/8" wide and about an inch deep dado set back 5/8" from the front of the bench top. The top of the deadman has a 5/8" rabbet that fits into the dado. It's actually made to be loose enough to lift the deadman up and off the bottom rail...so precision fit isn't critical. After all, it just needs to slide back and forth and hold a dowel.
