Oh don't get me wrong. Wickes sell some awful c**p but be selective. We don't all have accounts at the local timberyard. :(

Thanks for the compliment. No, I can't recall needing a second vice. If I need further holding then using clamps and the bench satisfy all that I have needed. What I have done is bored fixing holes in the top to mount an engineering vice as and when I need it if I'm butchering any metal. I...

Thanks everybody - Gives you a warm feeling, but enough about my problem. Making a change from boxes I decided to try a platter. Came up nice and shiny😁

Thank you - I'm 'umbled. Mind you, despite our best contrived efforts at creating a thing of beauty, nature has us beaten hands down! For example..... Spalted silver birch.

Been making boxes lately ( a la Chas instructions - ta!) and Chas advised I post my own thread so here we go:-
