That leg-vice looks just the job as well, reckon I'll be adding that to my list of must-haves for the bench I'll be building in the new year.
Could I ask about the long clamps that you used when gluing up the paddle at the start of the video? They look just the job - would you recommend them, and if so what brand are they?
I've been faffing around with the plan of making a workbench to replace my mdf on saw horses solution (which has proven to be surprisingly versatile and fit for purpose), Your build has convinced me to finally get my a$$ in to gear :)
My biggest learning from your journey is that I will be to build a trap door into mine because I most definitely be leaving screws on top when I'm underneath and I'm 65 and too old to be bobbing up and down like you! ;)
btw your table saw video was very good in my opinion! I'd say one of the best out there.
Nice work. Really enjoying your videos.
