Al, I guess what I was thinking was that the crochet and a 2×4 clamped to the legs (as shows in Scott Landis book) is a faster hold for edge planning. I guess if you needed to do a lot of boards or something, you can hold a board on edge without any screwing or unscrewing of the vise. Just throw it in the crochet. I’m sure you could make do without one with no problem.

Jusfine, I didn’t know the woodwhisperer was making a roubo. Doesn’t seem like his kind of thing.
