Fantastic.
Has given me food for thought as I also have limited space in my workshop and no access to vice hardware.

Great looking bench and bench dog. Great job on those vises. i may be able to afford them now.

Very Nice. Looks Great

You hit the nail right on the head, custom fit for your own space it better than nothing at all. I took the plan of a 8’ foot bench and made it 6’ and have never look back since. Most projects can be handle easily on smaller bench and the best thing is you can’t accumulate as big a mess on the smaller bench…lol. Nice work thanks for sharing and posting….BC

thats a great looking bench. I may copy parts of your leg vise design if I ever get to that project.

Great job on this bench. I love the way you organized the shelf below, so clean and ready to work.

Great job. Beautiful end result. I particularly like your bench brush. Should do a FANTASTIC job of sweeping away dust and shavings :-)

Woof.

Don..this is a beautiful bench for sure. You said that my bench inspired you to build yours, but I think we’re taking turns inspiring each other. I really like yours, the two-handle vise is a good thing, I am also going to put a shelf under my bench as well.. I was actually looking at the bench last weekend and said to myself “I can put a shelf down there”. Thanks for sharing your new bench, Don, and I know that it will get lots and lots of good use. I don’t know how I ever got along without mine. Happy Woodworking!

one question on the leg vice, does that diameter of foot wheel work well for you? Im thinking about expanding my bench and was courious

Hi Dan – The leg vise is somewhat slow to adjust. But, I adjust the foot wheel first before applying clamping pressure so the small wheel works fine.
