Nice pics Mauricio. Digging the DC on the router setup. A fella could learn something about benches on this site.

Looking good Mauricio. Wagons roll!!!

I like your wagon vise Mauricio. Thought about one on my bench but ended up just bolting on an old face vise I had. Perhaps the next bench. The last one was just a practice bench.

How many hours would you say you have in it so far? Inquiring minds want to know.
The vise mounting was well done. You do great work and are not afraid to show your mistakes. That makes you honest.

More nice work man.The chamfer repair is pretty dang good.Following along on these bench builds is starting to really make me NEED a real bench.Maybe one day.Im such a cromagnon that anything I build will look aged within 6 months.

Nicely done, M. The wagon vise is pretty sweet, even though it’s not a Benchcrafted. In hindsight I probably would have liked to have added on to my bench, although I do use the tail vise a bit.

Also, did you misspell “misspeled anyting” on purpose? LOL.

Thanks Slim

Shane, Thanks, the DC is just a fitting I bought to go on the router base. Not as convenient as a dedicated table but it worked out pretty good, its an mdf board sitting on two 8/4 pieces of oak.

Thanks Andy, its pretty sweet so far.

Jim, thanks, wow if that was your practice bench I cant even imagine how nice your next bench will be.

This wagon vise is Lefty Tighty, Righty Loosy but it will be cool once I get used to it.

Dave, Thanks. How long? We dont ask those kinds of questions Dave… Who knows, the first picture was taken back in January but I built a bookshelf in between, not to mention my wooden screw making detour. I dont know, I’ve given up trying to keep track of hours, a lot but at the same time It hasn’t seemed like that long. I will miss working on it when its done.

Thanks Bhog, I’m not that careful either, I’ve already caught myself chopping into my bench, I’m used to working on OSB that I chop and drill into all the time.

KOVA, gracias y gracias por el enlace, si yo soy hincha de Carter y les he visto todos los videos. Es un poco distinto el proceso con el tornillo de madera. El que me dio la inspiración para esta fue PurpLev. PRENSA CARRO, gracias por traducirme WAGON VISE, no sabia como se llamaba en español. Saludos!

*KOVA, thanks and thanks nfor the link, yeas I’m a big fan of Carter and I’ve seen all his videos. The process with the wooden screw is a little different. Purplev was my main source of inspiration. CAR VISE, thanks for the translation of WAGON VISE, I didn’t know what that was called in Spanish. Cheers!

Brandon, damn you! And thanks!
I wish I was clever enough to have misspelled that on purpose, My spelling is horrible I spell check everything in outlook but I missed those because I was in a hurry. Thanks for pointing that out!
Brandon and I were playing with the Benchcreafted hardware at Woodcraft last night at our Guild meeting. Mine is nowhere near as smooth as that but it will do. What do you have on there now? An iron facevise?

Great job Mauricio. The chamfer repair looks perfect. On the repair-end’s (left end?), is that end cap in place with spline and glue only or is it bolted too?

It is wonderful watching this come together. Thanks for sharing.

-- ~Tony

Thanks Tony. No its not glued on, it will just be held on with the spline and bolts but I haven’t bolted it on yet so its just the spline holding it right now.
