Hi, Chaps
I'm in the process of building myself a new work bench, nothing to fancy just something big, strong and solid (bit like myself). I had earmarked a bit of beech for the vice jaws but due to a slight miscalculation.... ok the I was dreaming that I had a bit of beech, I'm left with a couple of options
1. Wait till the second week of March when I've got to buy some oak for some book shelves and pick up a bit of beech then
OR
2. I have enough oak or ask to make the jaws out of, is there any reason why I should not use these? is beech just tradition????
If I'm going to use the oak or ash which would be the best option?
Cheers
Simon
