Portable (bench-top) Workbench

This is where we don't want anything but evidence of your finest wood butchering in all its glorious, and photograph laden glory. Bring your finished products or WIP's, we love them all, so long as there's pictures, and plenty of 'em!

Magnificent piece of work. Has it seen any proper action yet...?

Thanks Mark. Not a huge amount of action yet, mostly because I've been doing metalwork projects since finishing it: the bar clamps and the on-going slow speed grinder, the latter of which has completely ground to a halt (pun intended) due to the heat in the workshop!

However, it lives on top of my table saw and pretty much every time I need to cross-cut a bit of wood it goes straight in the (standard) vice of the portable bench and gets cut with a hand saw - it's just so quick and easy to do so. The little sacrificial dowel is looking seriously battered already!
