I lack a shelf between the lower rails because it's not essential and I haven't decided what to make it out of yet. And I lack a coat of wax on the newly oiled surfaces. I'll be waiting two or three days for the last coat of BLO to sure thoroughly. It was a challenge to build from the large mortise and tenons to the endless boring job of making the dog holes but I'm pleased overall. I got to practice just about every skill I've learned and a few I didn't know yet. I figured it was better to practice on a shop fixture than a piece of furniture. Total cost: 169.95 for the Veritas Twin Screw vise, I already had everything else lying about.
