All excellent info, thanks much because I need to learn.


Sometimes I think it might be nice to add an end-vise for planing, but if I had to have just one, I'd stick with the leg-vise.


looking at your bench and vise and words...

I thought of placing a leg vise on the 'end front corner', it could be used
three different ways that way. End vise for top board clamping and in-jaw
clamping, and with dogs or whatever sticking out the side of the jaw for
front board clamping with a bench slave and those front dog holes... or
something like that.

And 'TB II extend' is also what I thought of for my top, but it will be hard
maple... don't know if it's strong enough for time in the long run because
maple isn't very porous... however I will be using threaded rod. How much
glue did you use just for the top?
