I'm Ken of Cary,
I've spent the last year or so building my garage workshop and collecting tools. Currently building a Roubo workbench out of a 5" thick 18" wide Maple slab I got from saw4you here on the web site.
I finished installing the BenchCrafted traveler vise and am working on the legs now. They are 4x4" Maple as well. Finished the joinery on the legs and am ready to start the mortises in the top. The 14" swing Stanley Bit Brace I just got in the mail should help out there tremendously. The extra swing diameter makes drilling through 5 inches of maple a lot easier than my old Craftsman 10".
Cheers - Ken.
