Hi wreckers,

I finally finished up the last few details on the workbench I finally got
around to building. Although not as pretty as a lot of the benches I've
seen, including several recent posts, I think the functionality it
represents will still make it a joy to use. Since this is basically a step
up from a Workmate, there is no question that I'm going to be thrilled to
put it to use.

I'll post a few pics on ABPW, but you can see them all, as well as some
further details of the bench, at this website:

It looks very nice, but what I like best about it is that you've
obviously put a lot of thought into the various work-holding devices. I
especially like your setup for clamping boards for jointing. The little
trick of having a horizontal dog in the end-vise is a good one. (And
one that I'll steal from you as soon as I figure out how to adapt it to
my bench. :-)

I'm sure you'll get a lot of pleasure from the bench. Sometime down
the line you'll stop in the middle of working on a project and wonder
how you ever got by without such a stable work-surface. DAMHIKT.
