Hey all,
I have a plywood bench that's attached to the wall with diagonal 2x4s and then the plywood top (looks to be ~ 3/4"). The previous homeowner put this in. It's fine. But the sides of the bench are too tall to attached an old, vintage bench grinder I want to put on it. The vise on the grinder won't open wide enough to clamp on the bench. So I think I need to build an extension.
I'm new to woodworking (since Covid). Since my garage is small and has other uses, I don't have much space. This is basically what I am trying to do:

I'd like to attach this bad boy! He's at least 10lbs.

What would be the best (strongest) way to make this attachment that is also going to be fairly aesthetic? Any/all options would be appreciated because given my skill level it would be nice to have a few choices.
Thank you!
