Great Bench! I need some bozo in my shop…

Cheers,

Nice bench. Love the “butt-polished maple top” comment.

What’s the anit-wracking device you’ve got with the vise? How is it attached to the bench? Looks like a good solution worth copying if you could show some more detail.

You are a trend-setter, possibly a rou-bozo book in your future. Seriously, nice “practical” workbench. An example to be admired by the ordinary folk -like me.

Hey Delayne, I’ll trade you one of my deluxe boxes for one of those workbenches! Waddaya say? ;-)

That is one nice work bench DeLayne!

Can’t beat “butt polished” grade lumber!

JayT: The Vice Rack Stop is a commercial product from Lea Valley/Veritas. You can find it here. $13.50 plus postage. There are also examples of shopmade vice rack stops around the Internet. Typically, a simple stack of thin plywood squares with a bolt through them.

Maplerock: That trade is a temptation. I always look at and greatly admire your work. What about postage?

I am impressed!

The only thing lacking is a photo of you, who built the bench, posing in the now famous ‘reclining with head held in the palm of your hand, while lying on top of your bench’ pose,,, go on I dare you!

I’ve just started building my roubo with construction lumber. I guess I’m a bozo too!

Average? You are light-year away from the average hobbist
