All of this thinking about vises has made me better appreciate how I better
darn-well plan how the undercarriage of the vise does not interfere with the
supporting structure of the workbench!

Thinking in terms of a "traditional woodworking workbench", up to this point
in my mind I was thinking that the front vise would sort of be in front of
the front leg of the bench... Oops! At least I haven't cut any wood yet. I
guess as long as the end of the bench overhangs the supporting structure by
18 inches or so I'll be okay, but it changes the picture I had in my minds
eye...
Attaching the front vise further from the end would seem to reduce
"racking".

Somehow I found my way to lumberjocks.com and found a lot of nice pictures
of projects there too. Anyone here signed up over there?

Best,
Bill
