Roubo: Progress Shots

My partner tested the stability
of the workbench (it's rock solid)
and tried out my new bench
dog.

Close up of bench dog design. Email
me if you want the plans.

I've been working diligently on my workbench every weekend and many evenings.  A proper blog post will follow with the vise screw installation, but in the meantime, here are some progress shots. The vise screw is from Lake Erie Toolworks and is a real beauty. Works great and is easy to install.
