Beautiful job. I cant work with wood at all.

Thanks man

I decided to trade off the parker for a Desmond Simplex 5 inch jaw. The parker seemed to be slightly better quality just from sheer weight, however, the desmond had a preferred bolt pattern, and I like how precise it is. I have 1 coat of tongue oil down, and maybe 1 or 2 to go.

My oh my, that vise is certainly a bright green.



(but please, it's "tung oil", not 'tongue oil'. Unless you somehow came across or made a wood finishing product using oil extracted from tongues. )

And that finish looks a bit thick-n-shiny for what I think of as a plain/pure "tung oil". Looks more like a polyurethane-type varnish to me (from here, over the internet, via a few pictures, blah-blah-blah.)

Hmmmm, the grain pattern between the two boards isn't quite book-matched. Tsk, tsk, tsk, that will never do. Oh, the embarrassment.

Tell you what, I'll take it off your hands to save you from future internets embarrassments.



All kidding aside, looks nice.

Now go dirty it up and bash something on top of it.

Looks good! I like the neon green quite a bit. I'm glad the bolt pattern worked out better.

It is pure tung oil. I just put a coat on during that pic.

Worked perfect. Thanks for the help man.

That bench is sweet....I might have to get something like that but I will have to find the top already made....maybe shorter....Global industrial or some place like that

very nice, I did my welding table the same color, give the shop some variety. Less likely to walk into it too. Nice fab work.
