Thanks Norton. This is a woodwork bench, so I'll be having a table mounted flush top woodwork vise.

Here's a picture of my previous bench to see what it the vise will look like (I already have the same style of vise for this new bench)

Lychee

The idea for the bench is a rigid, heavy platform for sawing, planing, and for clamping panels to for joinery, glue ups, sanding and so on.

I have a separate steel topped bench which is used for anything involving welding, oil, grease, dirt.

Cheers,
Craig
