Pretty much the plan, I've got a few 4x4 left over from a fencing job for the legs. Planning on making the top 2inch thick because that's the most my vice will clamp to . Think it will be strong enough for me, I'm only sat in the shed playing with my wood , not exactly a pro

Good idea I'll have an ask around, got one in just like that in the house right now. Don't think the Mrs would be happy if I had off with it .. lol

Not a bad idea I'll ask around . Rough 4x2 from my local saw mill are £5 each need 4 for the top so would cost £20, plus lots of planing and jointing to get it all to sit together and be flat. I bet I can pick up some worktop for about the same price

Yep good idea will do Move the lower rails, braces to stop racking & screws instead of threaded bar . As always appreciate the help everyone

Not a bad idea at all , the clip on I've got has a stop block with it, you can flip it over and it almost acts like a tail vise ( so I need the length at the front ). kills 2 birds with one stone & saves me messing around with dog holes . One day when space and budget allows I'm planning on...

Hahaha !

It's a tool we use for restraining sheeps

I don't know Phil how many ?

For me, as long as you've got a good sharp chisel you're doing OK
