Leg three.


I did not get the most completed this weekend as I needed to on the workbench. This is leg three in the clamps.

Not exciting photography.




For the rest of the week I will be making the legs for the bench. This is not what makes for good photos. So I will have to work the canon 570, G7, G9 or S95 the best I can.

The last glue up for the top!

The big glue up.




The big glue up. This was the biggest glue up and the most critical. The top is heavy and moving it is not easy. Just one more glue up and the top is complete.

tail vice assembly.




Today I glued up the tail vice assembly. I Took some shots before it is fixed forever in wood and glue. Well I have made it able to be disassembled if need be.

The top is growing and getting heaver with each glue up. The top could be as much as 350 lbs completed.

Total bench weight could hit 450 lbs or more.

The tail vise is progressing.
