Very nice! Looks like it was quite a project in itself. That it was, Ed. Wish I had tracked the hours (or maybe I'm glad I didn't?) It was a lot of time and an awful lot of wood. The two maple slabs were 16/4, but I couldn't bring myself to plane them down to 2 1/2" like the plans called for, so there's some extra heft in this beast. I do have a bunch of nice offcuts from this! Joe |

Joe I'd skerd of scratchen it. Looks very nice Joe. Thanks Leon. We'll see how long it goes before it starts looking like a *used* workbench! Of course, have you seen Frank Klausz'? Looks like all he ever does is polish his. Joe (who is *not* comparing himself to Frank, nor belittling his work. That would just be wrong) C. |

Very nice! A special piece of wood for the shoulder vise
spacer block is a nice touch. The one in Frank Klausz's bench the inspiration? Did you with the traditonal all wood tail vise? If not, whose hardware did you decide on? Did you go with the nylon centered lock nut on the AllThread? Big dovetails are fun. Did you use a bandsaw or a handsaw? Most dovetail saws won't cut that deep. Tenon saw will though. Tool tray is knid of handy - and the ramped ends will make it easier to sweep out. Shallow draweres were a good idea - no digging through layers of tools to find something. Go with wooden drawer guides or metal drawer guides? Did you spline the apron to the bench top core? End of the front apron mortise and tenon joined? With panels between the legs and a frame and panel inbetween it should be pretty stabile The bottom stretchers AllThreaded? Nice bench. Should come in handy on your next project. Betting this will be your last bench. charlie b |

Well Charlie, you've certainly hit on some good questions. See my answers
below Joe "charlieb" wrote in message ... Very nice! A special piece of wood for the shoulder vise spacer block is a nice touch. The one in Frank Klausz's bench the inspiration? Yes, I liked the spalted one in Frank's bench but I didn't have any spalted maple. The Walnut was the crotch from an 8/4 natural edge slab that I gloated on awhile back. Did you with the traditonal all wood tail vise? If not, whose hardware did you decide on? The only metal is the screw. I got the screws at two different times, therefore the different color heads (green and black). The green one on the tail vise is actually the cheaper one. Did you go with the nylon centered lock nut on the AllThread? Nope, I used red (perm) Loc-Tite on the front nut on the dogleg vise and used a jam nut on the other end in the tool tray. That way I can easily loosen the back one with seasonal change. Wanted to permanently lock the front so that the AllThread never protrudes out the front. Big dovetails are fun. Did you use a bandsaw or a handsaw? Most dovetail saws won't cut that deep. Tenon saw will though. They are fun. Really fun in rock hard maple where the tolerances disappear. Dog leg vise I used a bandsaw to cut the two half pins first by tilting the table. Used that to mark the tail and bandsawed that as well. Tail vise: Through dovetails on the back the same way. Half blinds on the front were a workout. Mallet and chisel all the way! Tool tray is knid of handy - and the ramped ends will make it easier to sweep out. Ayup. Already I love having it there. Kind of nice to be able to move your workpiece around without knocking stuff off the bench. I'm trying to create the habit of never setting things down except in the tray. We'll see how that works out. Shallow draweres were a good idea - no digging through layers of tools to find something. Go with wooden drawer guides or metal drawer guides? I'll save the wooden guides for the furniture. All ball bearing KV slides. Got a deal sometime back and picked up a couple cases. Did you spline the apron to the bench top core? Yes, the apron is splined with a break in the spline for the thin-stock planing stop (which is the same material as the dogleg vise face). The dog hole strip was then attached with quadruple rows of #20 biscuits between each dog hole. That was *fun* putting that on! Lotta glue and lotta lining up in a short amount of time. End of the front apron mortise and tenon joined? Nope. They are loose splined. I don't have quite the stable shop humidity that I would like, so I couldn't take any chances with splitting. Now that I read your question again.... you're asking about the end caps, right? With panels between the legs and a frame and panel inbetween it should be pretty stabile I could set my car on top of that base. The bottom stretchers AllThreaded? No. Just some 6" bolts with the nut hidden in a recess in the stretchers. Kind of what you would do on a bed frame. Nice bench. Should come in handy on your next project. Thank you Charlie, always nice when someone takes an interest. Betting this will be your last bench. I hope so! I could have used a bench to build it! Isn't that always the way? charlie b Be well, work wood, Joe C. |

Joe Very nice piece of shop furniture. Your first ding is going to be traumatic! It was. Flipped the top over on the base to work on the tail vise and didn't notice a screw lying on one of the top bearers. Doh! Ah well, it *is* for working on, right? Joe |

Dang! she's a lefty.
That is sweet. I notice you have 4 dog holes in the tail vise. How did you figuew the dog hole spacing on the bench as it relates to the vise? -Steve "Joe" wrote in message . net...

Joe First class work, very well done I know you will get years of enjoyment out of this bench and every time you stand back and look it over you will be glad you put in the effort. |

Steve,
The spacing is all even. The idea behind having 4 evenly spaced on the vise instead of 2, front and back is the flexibility to have whatever I'm pounding on centered over the legs and not over the vise. Having four holes allows me to do this without winding the vise all the way in or out each time. That being said, for planing operations, the front dog on the vise will be used about 90% of the time to keep the majority of the board on the bench itself and not on the vise.. Joe C. And yep, she is a lefty! That oughta keep anyone from borrowing it! LOL! Having a lefty bench is one of the many reasons I made my own instead of buying one. I make enough righty tool/lefty woodworker concessions already, my bench wasn't going to be another one! "Stephen M" wrote in message .. . Dang! she's a lefty. That is sweet.
