Show us your Bench

That’s a bombshell or a tailvise Steve. And your B-20 is the bigger cousin to my B-18, so an easy spot for me.

Ken, I agree the build process as a split top is the way to go and saw your posts on you asymmetrical tops after gluing mine solid. I was also hesitant about using bolts, but can say the BC bolts are up to the task.

Best,

Well, here is mine. ;-) European beech.

Should be enough timber here for a roubo "a la Schwarz". Got a chunk of ash for the leg vice.

If all goes well I'll be cutting her up on the 21st of this month. The critters-under-the-bark have been going at it like mad.

Plan to do the ripping by machine and all the rest by hand because I want to learn while doing (or maybe I'm a masochist). I hope she won't weeble-wobble too much when I'm done.

Any hints for dealing with the critters? They look like this:
