I hardly ever use the long clamps that run through the length of the thing, I already talked about the planing beam, and the face vise is nice, but I never adjust the width of it. All in all, the adjustability has served no purpose. The only reason it "works" for me at all is because of what I added to the design - beefier top, top square to sides, extra sturdy legs/stretcher system... just in case anyone is reading this and is curious about how the NFW could work in a hobbyist, more hand tool than not hybrid shop :)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493901325531192792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-16523753093321210312017-12-06T15:07:28.207-08:002017-12-06T15:07:28.207-08:00Aaron,

My benches are very simple and easy to build, I'm not sure I'd ever get something as complex built or figure out how to make all the pieces work once built.<br /><br />ken<br />I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-34293884476616267722017-12-05T05:01:33.044-08:002017-12-05T05:01:33.044-08:00Hey Ken - that was me!

As far as I know John White's first article about the NFW was years ago. <br /><br />FWIW, here's a link to my mostly complete bench (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/191778). I hadn't installed the panels in the top. And since then I've put the planing beam on the back side and a leg vise on the front side. The planing beam is nice (again, it's a gizmo that works), but I just don't use it as much as I expected to. Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493901325531192792noreply@blogger.com
