Hi i am new here and would like to say hello to everyone and start posting away..
Well here's goes ...been needing a new workbench for ages now and managed to get 2 old record qr vices and some reclaimed timber

holes presumably for dogs.. but how to you clamp against them?

you could rig up a vacuum to those holes for a dust extraction / vacuum hold down.. ?

I have made some adjustable dogs up so i can clamp awkward shapes of wood up when I am using the router...It would be easy to modify it for a vacuum...I will post a pic of the clamps when I get the time to give you an idea

Thanks i still have a few finishing touches left to do...I am in the middle of making a second one at the moment LOL

Impressed, you could make the next one to fund the first, that is how many ventures started out.

The first on was made from old fence posts and left over timber.....I Had to fix both the vices as they where all rusted up and the QR spring was bust on one.......I only wish I had more space to make them as I love wood work..but sadly I no longer have the storage space
