I think my next project is going to be a new workbench. Last year I bought a Bally Block 24" x 60" maple top. I want to build something similar to the FWW design from the 2004 annual tools edition.
I've been looking at vise options. I will likely use my Record knock off on the right end and I wanted to put a second vise on the left front corner. Since this bench will be used for planing and dovetailing I would like a vise that has a nice size jaw. So the question is should I go with a traditional shoulder vise or something like the Anant (Record knock off).
Any other workbench suggestions would also be helpful.
Thanks, Mike
