So Sam - how's that bench coming?!
A minor tidy in my garage has turned into a major refit and a new bench is part of it, so this is all v interesting (well, maybe not the mass vs weight part...). I see a Paul Sellers pastiche in my future, but knocked up as quickly as humanly possible, so no wedges until the coach bolts start to give, scrap worktop instead of laminated wood, replaceable aprons out of whatever I've got, no tail or leg or underarm-whatever vices until i need them, dog holes to go in with a drill when and where required, etc.

*I'm sure they're nicer than that, but I still wouldn't. In my "workshop" they're real, anyway (see avatar).
