The vise is custom and part of the bench. Here is another pic of the top and one from below.

Vise 1.jpgVise 2.jpg

Removable jaws with leather faces

400 pounds

3" thick Maple top

No racking

Adjusts to slight angles left and right

No handles on the front to grab me by the shorts when planing

Opens 44"

Crushing power but as gentle as a lion

Jim, thanks for the excellent poem.
