...... even if I say so myself!

Steel frame lag bolted to the wall, 2" MDF top with aluminium skin (its what I had on hand).  Four steel drawers underneath and a good sized cupboard.

I'll 2nd that motion John. 

Looks like your making progress and it looks good. Won't be long now and the chips will be flying. 

Cheers

It's good enough, but not big enough.  You'll want  more soon.  Ask me how I know.

You're gonna need a bigger vise if you plan on building some Elmer engines.

Looks great! Everyone seems more organised than me...look at all your screwdrivers and spanners neatly ordered

Nice, I want that

Nice. I especially like the spacer under the vise. I'm gonna have to rig up one of those for mine . (Probably standard practice though, right? )

I would have liked the spacer to be a big lump of iron but I just had to make do with a block of wood and not even particulary hard wood at that, pine.  Better than hunched over the hacksaw though.

For me it's more the surrounding clearance. I seem to have issues with that on mine.
