well having sucumbed once again to the inspirational forces found here amunst you guys ,......
ive something to show you finally after all the fantastic work benches ive witnessed here what ive come up with , it measures 50”x30”x36” made of red oak(montana cut(for the base) and recycled barn wood of which i spent the better part of the summer dismantling but back to the bench …lets see oh yea the top is ripped to 2.5” turned up on end and glued up to sand to 2.25” bench dogs folling the long edge over laped opposite the flush face to mate with the {hold on to yor hat } hand cut 2 & 5/8” od twin screws vise !
(for the internal threads ,then used that to form the screwbox 
fitted with a hand filled cutter 
to shear cut the external treads of the screws ,plan to see the up coming blog detailing the whole process ,
the base has 3.5 “legs with the skirts mortised in 2.75” 
and double pegged with 1/2”
dowles thru & thru the shelf on bottom was dadoed in to the bottom skirtso that was the only fastener there 
unfortunatly i broke weak and used 8 4” screws to mount the top but tried to compensate with wedging the cover plugs 
all this humbly submitted for your scrutiny

Very impressive oicurn, masterful job. I really like the bench. I’m making me a new one because I can’t keep the other one clean.

Outstanding job on this bench. I like the idea of the large, twin screw vise on the front. That’s an idea I’ve been kicking around. Thanks for the post.

Very cool. I’m very interested in the process of making the tap and threadbox and the whole process of making the wood threads. I hope it’s all in the blog!

Only thing better than building it will be using it.
I second the blog about the screws, anxious to see how it was done.

This has such a look of solidity to it. I love that. And I didn’t realize we could tap our own dowels for vices like that. How cool! Now I’m getting ideas… :)
