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.

I Mot :
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?

-- Al Navas, St Joseph, MO, http://sandal-woodsblog.com

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.

Mot is that the grizzly vise? I was looking to get one since I’m just starting out (and vises are expensive!) but it had several bad reviews about the machining and paint. any comments on its usability?

I think I bought it from Lee Valley, actually. This one is not too bad, turns easily, paint doesn’t seem to be an issue, seems to be casted well.
