Just a heads-up for anyone considering building this particular vise. I was fortunate enough to be one of those that attended the vise-building workshop this past spring; consequently, I now have the vise in my shop. As I told Pop-Pop earlier, the principle reason for signing up for the workshop was that it was one of the very first offered post-Covid and I was ready for the fellowship of fellow woodworkers. That said, now that I have the vise in my shop, it has quickly become a highly valued and frequently used tool. I am extremely happy with it!
