The book is a great read so far. I use a Nicholson bench and working the edges on long boards is really easy using a leg vise in combination with a holdfast on the front.
Is the expectation that you would position the board in a central position on the leg vise with this bench to minimize the levering action? The benchcrafted vise can hold an astounding length of wood tight, but on long pieces, the best solution is to use the holdfast holes in the leg to support it.
So I just finished the book, do you have to pay royalties for your updated version? I bought my benchcrafted leg vise and bought two Hovarter end vises for my future bench build. It just seems worth the experiment to see if two quick acting vices can be useful. This will be my fifth bench build and I have had the usual issues as you, thanks for what you do. It seems Chris Schwarz and Paul Sellers have irreconcilable views about work-holding, protruding vise, bench height and workbench drawer.
Although, if one so chose, nothing prevent one to install a leg vise, a wagon vise, a wooden planing stop and to bore dog and hold-fast holes in a Paul Sellers Workbench. So let us only speak about the intrinsic qualities of the basic Paul Sellers workbench.
This workbench has in my view great qualities which are superior to the traditional Nicholson one. The P. Although it seems that a long enough sash clamp allows easy clamping between the piece on the top and the lower edge of the panel. A couple things about the sellers bench. I built and worked at one for four years. Its limitations became very evident to me.
I only had room for a bench just shy of six feet. I live Pauls work but he leaves out a lot of crucial information. First is how many record vises he goes through from wailing on boards while in the vise.
Not a good practice. The second is how inconvenient his bar clamp in the vise for holding long boards is. The does foot and planing stop is so much faster. The bench even with properly fitted wedges tightened down as much as possible the bench has a bit of rack to it. It is likely I never will build another one.
The Sellers bench is fine iand has a special place for me and I can take it places and set it uo quickly like at a job site but it never quite satisfied all my needs. Might be different for you. You will notice I expressly left work holding means and practices out of my description. Because work holding is customisation of the basic workbench structure.
The hole for the bolt which maintains the apron against the leg-frame must be slightly larger then the bolt diameter to allow some lateral movement of the leg-frame.
Otherwise, the wedge will only push the leg-frame against the bolt and not against the other side of the housing. The bench has been working great so far. This let me make the many changes required for my circumstances with few regrets. There is a whip in the picture of the workbench hanging from the wall cabinet. I though LAP did not resort to these methods to get employees to work harder and faster… I though the Anarchist credo was for real!

However, this does not impact our recommendations. When I travel with some of my old-school workbenches, it looks a bit like a 19th-century British caravan to India. Society was a lot less mobile when these benches were in favor.
And while I prefer these workbenches the way they are , built as one monolithic structure , sometimes you need to build your workbench so it knocks flat.
