Workbench

I made this bench from discarded pallets. Not the prettiest entry, but maybe I will win points for weight!

Normally I would provide a nicer picture, but I am getting behind on my projects.

Hello,

A fine job and wise use of resources! I've been grabbing discarded lumber and cull lumber from the big boxes for a similar project, and likewise will use the Frid/Klaus design. What was your source for the tail vise mechanism?
