Thanks JC, and Me Too! I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy on some smaller projects. I need some wood for the sides, or stretchers, on either side of the core, and a nice chunk of something for the head piece--maybe walnut?-- which will be dovetailed to the stretchers to take the pressure from the vice. I appreciate you watching and checking in.
I enjoyed the process of your build@@moonlightsnowfall6734. I built a bench a few years back, not really understanding what a well tuned bench can do. I was just happy to have a surface to work on and clamp to. Now I realize the limitations of a crude, but sturdy bench. I'm building a mobile, mini bench to clamp to my main. 30" or so X 12" I want multiple ways to hold material. Gathering info on tail vises but it'll be total DIY. So I appreciated your approach and what you were doing. Hope the vise comes together and vid#4 gets done. Cheers!
No part 4? Was hoping to see the finished vise in action.
