Can you make me a new front window while you're at it?

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.

After a long time I have got the screws back from the machinist, so I can put things together. Yesterday I turned some pegs to put the steel lock pins into. The pins are offset to allow for the screws not being exactly centred in the holes. Pics this afternoon.

I was asked to post some pics of the pins and the screw end.
I've included a pic of the beam in use as a vertical press/clamp to show how it can be used.

This is turning into an amazingly versatile bench!

Great ideas that look great too...
To use it as a vertical press/clamp, do you pin it via the horizontal doggies or a long rod/bar connecting the screws under the bench top?
Does the Groggy household perhaps offer public viewings of the beast (bench) to international visitors?

Andy, the screw can be pinned either through the horizontal holes or from under the bench, depending on how much thread is needed through the top.
I am over the other side of the bay to Pakenham but if you are over this way I would be more than happy to show the bench to you.

Groggy, what's the matting that is under your bench? I assume it's some sort of non-slip, anti-fatigue type of stuff? My bench is slipping on my concrete...very annoying!

The matting is some cheap Aldi interlocking mat I picked up a while ago. It is very comfortable and the bench certainly doesn't move (with or without mats). I think it cost about $18 for six squares, Bunnings have them too. Just make sure you buy them all at once and have a few spare as they change designs occasionally.
EDIT: Funny thing about these mats, I had a minor flood through the shed and the mats floated up around the bench and kept it dry!
