Here is a picture of Jamie Bacon's bench (used by
permission). Read about it on his
blog: Plane Shavings. Notice that he put notches on the legs into
the side board, as in the original engraving.
Jamie told me that he really
likes his front vise "but if I had it to do over, I’d have just made a
portable one like the Moxon that everybody’s gone nuts about this past
year." I really like the clean look
of not having a front stretcher or shelf, although Jamie has since added a
shelf to his.
Southern yellow pine is a nice wood for this bench. Wish we could get it here.
