So im gonna build a split top roubo. I want to get some opinions on the pros/cons of a wooden leg vise versus a standard vise. I don't have the money to throw down on Benchcrafted gear or the top end Veritas stuff, but I'm not looking for the bottom of the barrel so aim for middle priced/quality gear. This is for the face of the bench, I will get an end vise as well in the style of the Veritas chain drive vise (if not that one specifically). If I get a standard vise it'll be quick release, and i'll add some hard wood blocks to extend it, and I'd try to find the biggest one I can (9-10in). Oh, and I consider myself a hybrid wood worker (as per Mark Spagnuolo description) but won't shy away from cutting my own dovetails rather than dropping a lot of money on a good router jig.
So what are your thoughts on these systems? What are the major differences in your experiences?
