The wood for this bench came off the streets of Brooklyn, NY. Ash, White and Red oak, and even walnut. The walnut were two 3x5x8 skids of a pallet left for the trashman. The vises, of course, just makes things work better. Fun to build and fun to use. Built on a shopsmith in a garage; New York space is hard to find.

What brand and who sells the pattern maker's vise? And, do you recommend it?
Thanks
