The Planning Phase What do I like and what else would a serious woodworker need in a bench
The Plan was to build myself a workbench and then it was 2 benches as my uncle decided he needed a real workbench as well. I offered to build the bench if he purchased the wood. and I already have my two vises and he will buy his vises and the wood for both benches. I will work my ass off and make the two benches. I also have a LJ friend here in town and have offered to have his build go at the same time as mine so this could be a 3 bench deal I am excited and hit the plans one more time. i have posted several times on the topics of high quality benches and have asked my self if i should add the Roubo style leg vice and sliding dead man or is the twin screw and 10 inch bench vise enough to do all the tasks as I believe it is. This is your chance to chime in and help me decide, do I build this right off the plans or do I modify it with different dogs and a leg-vise please elaborate on your opinion I WILL ADD A PIC WHEN I FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT OFF THE DVD
