Benchcrafted Crisscross (St. Peter's Cross)

[Helvetica]

After building my version of a Roubo bench last year, I have been looking for a nice solution to the wracking caused by the peg slot binding as you open or close the chop. This looks good enough that I just placed an order for one! $145 for a retro fit version, but a sting in the tail with $70 shipping. Anyone else gonna add this to their bench?

I have been checking it out but I'm still drawn to the wooden screw/pin vice.

Richard Maguires Pinless is very interesting though.
