What do you think is underneath the board on which the vice is mounted ;)

rounding the end of that t-track to save squaring the groove is a nice touch!

i think i got about 350mm in front of the plate so maybe enough for a front vice, but all options will be looked into :)

Not sure if these are still made but for a very versatile but not permanent vice look no further.

Axminster have it

https://www.axminstertools.com/axminste ... ice-107038

but they were out of stock when I needed mine and I got it from Dictum in Germany.

It's brilliant for what I've been doing. The jaws will self-centre around awkward shapes and you can undo the securing wheel underneath and rotate the whole thing. When I was assembling part of the staircase, IU'd deliberately left the final carving etc of the main wreath until it was glued and fixed to the stair handrail. I had 3m of handrail floating but supported by the top of the bandsaw. The main joint near the vice jaws where I needed to work and the other end of the wreath supported by the end of the assembly bench.

Was just gathering the pixels to say "Sounds like a patternmaker's vice" and then clicked on the link. Nifty thing, and just the ticket for your current labours, Roger.

Nice, er... work table, Craig. I'm sorry, I just can't call it a bench. I'm sure it's ideal for your needs, but it'd drive me absolutely nuts! Proper job, though. :eusa-clap: Bad luck on the router bit, btw. Are they really painting them in attractive pastel lemon these days? s'trordinary.
