I like the holdfasts.
Darren Wright said:Nice looking bench. Where did you find the plans at? Also, does the support peg board slide back and forth? Appears to, but wondering.
Tom Becnel said:Very nicely done, Dennis! Very nice!
Has the bench required much flattening maintenance? Have the knots made any negative impact on it? Are you happy with the choice of vices? Hindsight being what it is what, if anything, would you have done differently?
Tom Becnel said:Dennis, have you added a tail vice? How's that work out without a tail vice for surface planing and hand cutting moulding n such? I have a crap bench with a melamine top for now (had to leave a very nice one in St Louis) but even it has a tail vise...?
Geez you making me anxious to start the new bench still waiting for the lumber to dry
Dennis Ulrich said:No tail vice. I use a couple of Veritas Wonder Dogs. They work well and are more flexible than an end vise.
Tom Becnel said:Hmmmm... I guess I need to go look at those.
