I still like the wavy backrest.<br />I'm often complaining about having not more time and being slow. But on the other hand maybe it leeds to being more precise or to work properly.<br />Cheers,<br />StefanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-160774804858828212016-04-24T21:15:27.169-07:002016-04-24T21:15:27.169-07:00Bob, the table was my wife's before we got tog...Bob, the table was my wife's before we got together.

My benchtop is 3 1/8" thick and I had to add a packing under the top so the front of the vise wouldn't stick up above the top. It has an unusual QR mechanism and takes some time to get used to, but so far it works fine. I've been using it for about 5 months.<br /><br />I'm over in Mountain View.

It borrows a bit from Sellers design in the legs and bearers, but has no aprons and no tool well. I researched quite a bit from Scott Landis' "The Workbench Book". I've no doubt that Paul's design would be great, but I don't like the idea of a tool well and the aprons make it hard to get at planes stored under the benchtop. Good luck to you if you build one.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-74184395966111669882016-04-23T07:53:24.563-07:002016-04-23T07:53:24.563-07:00"Flair" is one way of describing my &quo..."Flair" is one way of describing my "decorative" embellishments.
