Thread: My humble offering

That is a lovely bench. Well done.

Nice job Ed.
Like the vice hardwear. Gives me an idea for some brass fittings i have.

great bench
must be a great feeling making such from your own tree

I was wondering whether ball catches would work with round dogs - how do you find then in use?

Great bench and there would be a lot of satisfaction in making it from you'r own tree.

Dust-- The spring loaded "ball catches" are really just to provide friction so that the dogs will hold a position or turn freely without falling through the hole. On the religious argument of square vs round, I came down on the round side here, reasoning that round dogs might hold irregularly shaped objects better.

Neil--
Well, see, now that's the thing. I've actually avoided the question until now because I've been rebuilding an old motorcycle, and just use the bench to lay out parts on.

This will be an interesting season, won't it?

Well done, a thing of beauty, pretty much too good to work on though.

Mate if this a hubble offering, i'd love to see an oustanding one !! Reaaly nice and well thought out. As far as "To nice to use" goes...no way. Get into it, part of the fun is building it the best part is using it.
