This was the product of a week spent in Berea, Kentucky in September of 2008. If you ever get the chance to take a class at Kelly Mehler’s school, I’d take it. Great enviroment and Kelly’s a great guy. Chris Schwarz, of Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine, taught this class. I had a great time, learned some good stuff, and met some great woodworking folks from all over the country, Including Alaska and Canada.

Nice bench. I think it is fair to say you can get some real leverage with those vice handles…..

Beautiful bench! It looks like your twin screw mount blocks aren’t the typical 8” variety from BigWoodVice.com. Did Chris score the class some 12” inchers?
