Good job BB =D> I need to practice more M&Ts myself. The last ones I made were for breadboard ends and they turned out okay but were hidden for the most part. 
Yours are much better.

I really don't see why you were so nervous about doing M&T's Byron, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that joint, you will be quite an expert when your projest is done. =D>

Theres a picture in George Ellis's book. The timber is held with the joiner sitting on it IIRC, not unlike a jap carpenter. If your bench is a bit flimsy and its not easy or pracical to modify it, perhaps a motrice stool could be a solution?
Cheers Mr S
Bob Key used to have a picture. The body was around 12"x12"x2'. The other feature of a morticing stool was a coule of vertical projections so that workpieces would be held (against the "horns") by wedges. This may have simply been a feature that was useful before cheap metal clamps came on the scene.
Of course, timber framers don't worry about all this, since a 12"x12"x12' beam is pretty much "self stabilising"

Sounds a good idea - you'd need some reinforced lederhosen or similar if you were to sit on it though :roll:mr spanton":i3jdwnsf said:snip

And a normal bench is a bit high - I used to stand on an ammo box when I was doing a lot. Actually a very useful bench accessory - a wooden box about 20x15x10" made a 3 level step-up or a prop for big things held in the vice like a door or whatever.
