Nice work,


Thanks. Lousy photos though - must get a better camera

BTW. I trust you planed off that chipout
on the tail vise (oops, "vice" Over There) end.


Which bit ?
If you mean the top left corner of this, then it's deliberate.

I fumed all the front-to-back timbers ages ago, when I first made the
top. I then had to do some more cutting work on the tail vice parts.

The front apron rail is 4" deep x 2" front-to-back. The sliding vice
is wider than this - the back of it is open, where the vice screw
runs. There's a 1/2" thick cover plate over the top of both, and this
"chip" is the dovetail to hold down the end of the cover strip.
