Wayne, no dogs until I do something with it that needs dogs. Then I’ll drill them. You’re dog-obsessed! LOL

Great bench.

Nice bench. Good job. Do you store it on top of the bench or somewhere else.

Karson, there is room directly under where it currently sits. I think it will go there but it’s currently a tool without a permanent home.

It works pretty good, Top. I’ll have to work on the vice a bit as it slips a smidgen more than I care for it to. I might pad it with something. Thanks for the comment.

Neat idea.
I wonder if you could use some cork on the vice faces?

Great ideal.

Cool! I like the idea of that huge vise. Does it tend to rack quite a bit, or is it a dual-drive system?

It racks a bit, Al, but if using a narrow board, I put piece of similar thickness scrap on the other side of the vise at the same time. I just put screw or brad through it as a hook so I don’t have to try and hold two pieces and turn the screw. The bench works for it’s intended use, quite well, but the vice is not ideal, though functional.
