I really like the ones I have from TFWW - work well, clever design, right price.....
If they are our of stock I can't imagine it will be for long....

Auriou Forged holdfast

"The Forge De Saint-Juéry, where Auriou's exquisite hand-stitched rasps are born, now makes a hand-forged bench hold down for the discriminating bench owner and woodworker."
I like how they make a point of saying its for the discriminating bench owner and woodworker.... as in those are two different potential buyers.
LOL, they must have done there research on the boutioque tool buyer market!
I don't like to discriminate so I won't be buying one of those.
Woodworking is terrific for keeping in shape, but it's also a deadly serious killing system...
Well, I ordered 2 holdfast's from Lie-Nielsen today and they said they would be shipped Mon. I hope they work ok. Will let you all know how they work when I get them.
I just ordered a pair from TFWW.....
Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.

Nope, Mark Atchison's work; bought these a few years ago and they work great in my 4" thick bench top.
These replaced a pr. of Gramercy's, which I confidently sold to another ( I'm sure quite pleased) woodworker.
For a quality, economical holdfast that actually works like it should- Gramercy is#1;
for something with real panache- Peter Ross or Mark Atchison.
I got my lie-nielsen holdfasts to day. I have a 4" thick workbench and when I tried them out they worked fine. I am going to like them very much.
