I have finally completed my entire bench including the world’s largest end vise. I used the Veritas twin screw vise and put the screws 24” on center. The end vise is the entire width of the table.

The table is 72” by 48” and 32 inches high. The frame, supports and banding is all ash. The two vise jaws are hard maple.

The top is 3 layers of 3/4” MDF. I stained it with some poly/stain stuff I had laying around, then put on 4 coats of wipe on ply. Then I waxed it every day for a week.

The green vice is a small cheap one I bought from Hartville Tool utilizing the Woodnet 20% discount. Works great.

The only thing left is to put in some dog holes and I am ready for my blanket chest project.
