When you slide the clamps in will there be dividers so the other clamps will not catch each other.
Nothing worse the trying to get one out and a few others follw up with a tangled mess.Jim Carroll

We think alike Jim.
Originally I was planning to run some hardboard dividers dado'd into both the top and bottom shelves but that is overly complicated and the grains run in different directions. At present the plan is to use some triangular guides attached to just the bottom shelf with glue (and a few brads to hold it until the glue dries ) I don't want the ends constantly catching each other.

It never ceases to amaze me how many tools climb onto the bench while I'm mortising.
The first end-frame is together (dry fitted) and I am very happy with it. The frame pictured is the right end of the bench, the dark leg is the front. The mortises will be draw bored when assembled.
A nice blurry shot of the twin tenons.
The frame is dead square with no 'encouraging' from me.
Now for the second one.

Hi Groggy,
Nice work. Nice fit. Nice square. Oh,... and that bench. Looks pretty damn tidy to me, even the floor is tidy. All those tools led to that perfect fit so I guess the more tools the better.
Keep the photos coming, thanks.
Cheers
Pops

I just noticed in that photo that I haven't routed the edges of the side stretchers.
Job for during the week.

Got them done, took no time at all really, I must be getting used to the flute cutting. Maybe an hour all told, including setup.
Ran the router flat out so I could climb cut but still got some burning, not too deep though so they should sand out with a bit of work.

They look really well.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Had a play tonight and erected the frame dry to see how it was going. Pretty pleased with the result as it sits very solidly and pushing it does very little to it, even with dry joints. Once it is glued, wedged and dowelled, then a top attached with more mortises, I doubt very much that it will move at all.
The first photo shows the general frame. The others are showing the way the clamps will be stored. The heads of the clamps will be slightly raised so any vibration will move them in rather than out of the storage area.
I have had a lot of comments from people about how difficult it will be to move the bench, in fact it will be very simple. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how it will be done?

How it's going to be done?
a. Much like a deadman switch on a c/saw, you'll do the same on the bench with castor wheels. (after some Buds i can't be stuffed to find a link from FWW of what I'm talking about, but if I'm on the money in any way youi know what I'm already talking abiout)
b. But really, it'll only ever live in one spot and you get some burly blokes to move it into place then ply the blokes with vitamins for helping move the beast.
or c. much like above, but you'll put the frame of the bench where its final resting place will be and attach the top and rest of it after it has been located in the final resting place. (make sence? clear as mud)

Groggy, Just popped into this thread to have a peak at your new bench. I haven't read all the posts but the bench looks like it will turn out very impressive.
The reason for me butting in, as I has to have a little chuckle at your "dead square" comment. I couldn't understand why it wouldn't. I had a close peak at your work bench and I could count 7 possibly 8 squares on it. I understand double checking, but 7 times, that's gotta make it perfect.
Squirrel.
PS.. the picture was the first one in post #80
