So your suggestion is to build one, which was my plan... Perhaps I'm just in a mood recently, but I have several projects I am eager to get working on (which involve resawing), and I've been building...

Aha, as usual the answer was right in front of me and I looked elsewhere, ha. Thanks!

The photos I see online appear to be identical, but I have made that mistake before so I thought I would see whether anyone has experience with these two working together. I found the Shop Fox resaw...

Thanks! I always over-think things so I spent some (more than I should've, of course) time today learning to make the rabbeted miter joints and almost have it. I'm going to do some more tests with a...

The more I consider everyone's comments, the more I am convinced that the lapped (rabbeted?) miter is the best compromise-- it provides a seamless miter joint with a registration for both mating...

Thanks both of you. I have one set of the corner band clamps from HF I got in anticipation of this glue up. I was thinking a splined miter would work but can you do that so it is blind? I know...

was it something is said?!? Or just that I made the mistake of admitting I was using MDF in the title?!?!

I am working on building a set of tower speakers and decided to use pre-veneered MDF-- I am saving learning how to veneer for another day. Anyhow, I bought a lock miter bit and had success setting...

Thanks again for all the info... I flattened the top yesterday with a router sled setup an am almost ready to mount the vises before finishing. As with many new operations, I usually figure things...

OK so I'm intrigued by the 1/3 formula and also read Danish Oil should work well, both of which I haven't used. I do already have and love Liberon "finishing oil". Iys not cheap but I've loved the...

Thanks all for the input, I really appreciate it.

I've been taking pictures throughout and will post them once I finish up, which I hope will be soon... Been working on this nights and weekends...

thanks for the quick replies!

Rob- I will def consider your experience, although mine is 84"L so do you think that would be an issue if your bench were longer?

William-- As I just mentioned,...

I am building the Holzapffel bench based on Chris Schwartz and would like to get some input on the following two issues:

1) I have a Veritas twin screw vise and a (standard) quick release "front"...
