Am now looking to buy the red plastic grips that hold tubular things, such as bikes. any idea where i can get them from. I live now in spain. I do not have a web site, so am using my son's one, who is a graphic designer. many thanks paul attard i purchased a zyliss vice in the 70′s too; brilliant.

I thought they might be a tripping hazard, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. Frank Thanks Wilf, The longer stretchers are made to be the working side for stability.

Anyway, I lined up the top using Dominos so there wasn’t a lot of sanding involved. It is a major step up from the biscuit jointer that I once used. Using a hand plane will take it up to the next level. When time permits, I think I will do exactly that. Frank Vic,

I noticed that the feet (or the stretchers that the feet are attached to) extend further out on one side than the other. Is there a "working" side to the bench or is that just the design?

I really like the looks of it, that eucalyptus really adds some beauty. I am in the process of building one too, I hear you on the price tag. I started out wanting to build something real beefy , but that has gone by the wayside for two reasons. Cost and time. Well, back to your masterpiece, I really like that vice. It gives you outstanding versatility! Great job on the whole project. It will serve up some holding power for years to come. It is nice to see a unique style instead of a copy.

So did you find a large belt sand to flatten that puppy, or did you use a hand jointer plane? That eucalyptus is pretty, too.
