If you're looking to build a new--or perhaps your last--woodworking workbench, but you're not sure where to start, how to do it, or how much money you really need to spend on your bench vices (here's a hint, it may not be as much as you think--you probably don't need the full, benchcrafted hardware package for your end vise, tail vise, or your leg vise), you will find this video VERY helpful. I built my take on the Woodwhisperer Guild Hybrid Roubo-style Workbench, with a custom gap-stop, an end/tail vise, AND a leg vise that finds the perfect balance of cost and functionality, perfect for EVERY woodworker's shop!
