Creeker's Past Week's Accomplishments

[Michael Burnside]

Michael, nicely thought out bench. I am curious though, why the vertical tape measure strips on the inboard side of the sustainer cavities?

Next to that are two extrusions which will allow me to install two pegs (https://www.dashboardpws.com/shop/spirail-dogs). These pegs support workpieces that are clamped to the side of the bench. So if I have a 24" wide panel, I can set the pegs to 20" (using the tape you see) and know that the panel will be 4" proud of the workbench top. I don't have to guess where the workpiece will be, I'll know precisely Normally one peg is enough but the tape also allows me to make sure that if I use two pegs, they will be very close to parallel (close enough anyway).
