If anyone is planning to build one of these I can relate some of my experiences and mistakes that might help you.
I found once the build started I realized it is not as straight forward as it seems especially the tail vise.
Thanks for looking. It was the workbench build of my dreams. I had been studying plans an acquiring wood for almost 3 years.
Base: White Oak milled from a 150 year old barn beam.
Top: Hard Maple from a 5" thick 30" wide slab I found in Tennessee
Accents: Mahogany.
Shoulder Vise Face and Dogs: Lignum
Vise Screws and stretcher bolts purchased from Lee Valley
Finish: BLO/MS 3 coats.
