I would like to see the other end of the pipes to see how you make your
coarse adjustments. Would that bee too much trouble?

See http://imgur.com/a/pgZ3e#0 I moved it to a separate page and
annotated it. Removed older images and put new images in place.
All 2x construction for cheap bench. I am leaving many chisel marks in
it, so it's not worrying me. If it really goes to crap, I'll just plane
it down and put a masonite top on it. But I don't see it being a
problem. It's saving my real workbench, and giving my back a well needed
rest for marking.

I did make the legs too high. My first set of dovetails came out awful,
I finally figured that my arm is too high. So it should be an inch or 2
lower, so that when sawing my arm is level. I did not anticipate the saw
height when I built it. I noticed my arm was level to the bench. Should
have put a saw in my hand, it makes a difference.

OK, I will rant. I just use Google news reader. Yes newsgroups are old technology living in this modern age. Alt binaries is always a problem for me too. I have never found a good solution and usually just do a Google search and find some re-poster site thing where I can view them. What a hassle. Wish we could just post pics here. But please all use flicker or flucker or some facebook or some fricking normal thing with a link so we can just click and see.

Those are man-sized pipe clamps!

 A little inaccuracy saves tons of 
 explanation.

Echo that. I'm an old school usenet user but to be frank, the binary groups
are not worth chasing after anymore. There are tons of free web sites to
upload pictures to and then just post the link. Everybody can see it, it
generally shows better, and it generally downloads better. Let the binary
groups die. They've served their purpose and no longer do.

Build your own website. Then you can include photos and text as you
please and modify as you see fit. Works for me.
I can't access Facebook as I don't have an account there, so that
doesn't work for me.
