So, I finally made a tall joinery bench with the bench crafted Moxon vise.
I included the parts after milling because that is how my shop looks before a project and usually every day.
The top is soft maple and the base and two side pieces of the top are ebonized ash. It includes a tool slot and tool tray in the rear. All from 8/4 stock.
I broke down and tried the lambs tongue and enjoyed that. Needless to say it went much better than I had thought and quicker too. I have since carved my name and date into the moving jaw.

The pics for the dovetails don't want to load for some reason. Just being a PITA like chopping them out. I have done dovetails before but never in 8/4 and that was a lesson. It took much, much longer to complete than I ever thought it would've. I cheated and used the bandsaw for the tail boards and chopped after that and on the second joint I went to a power assist and drilled out a bunch of wast to ease up on the chopping duty. It felt wrong and right at the same time.
