Bob is demonstrating how to cut the slots for the metal end vise hardware on this left handed bench.
Bill Peck is blogging his way through building a workbench at the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking.
Today we concentrated on preparing the tail vise for the metal hardware installation and a Fine Wodworking web producer came to visit us. We also did more glue-up on the benchtops. The pictures tell the story.
Tomorrow we will finish installation of both vises and take the tops across town for their final sanding on a wide sander.
