    Does this work for all markers and timbers? I will have to try it.

    I'm not sure. I know it works with the marker I am using because I tried it once before. Even so I only use it where the timber is to be cut or covered.

    The grooves in the legs and the edges. I am trying to figure out how to taper them but the flu seems to be stopping me from thinking

    Default Bessey Clamp Storage

    I put a quick blog up to show the planned 'secret' storage under the bench.

    Here is a snap of a work bench I'm building for a mate. All material is second hand (free) and the only cost is the galvanised bolts and of course the Jet 7" vice. Top is made up of 65x19 messmate with tons of biscuites glued to two sheets of 18mm MDF. Dimensions are 2460 x 800 x 900 high with a lower shelf to hold my mates many cases of woodworking machines, drills, sanders etc.

    Default Google Sketchup skp file

    I've been playing with Giggle sketchup to get an idea of how it will look in the frame layout. Here is a copy if your interested.

    (Ignore the dimensions, they are close but not accurate)

    When you open the file click on the tabs to get the preset various views. Note the long Bessey clamp storage area.

    Today the side stretchers were started, glued and dimensioned, plus I started the tenons. These will be double haunched blind tenons with dowels to give some extra holding power.

    The joinery for the long stretchers is now complete, including the dado for the lower shelf. Next weekend I hope to get the short stretchers finished.

    Working on the short stretcher mortise and tenons this weekend. Halfway there, tomorrow I'll finish the haunches and square up the mortise ends.

    Note the choice of double tenons was partly for strength and also so I could straddle the peg hole.

    Groggy I'm more than a little concerned you have not crossed the waste on your tenons a bit of pencil scrubbing is not wise. I know if I was sawing them you can be assured the middle bit will get cut out.

    Nice joint man, love and peace sorry it is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.
