re: Tail Vise Fab and Mock up

That reminds me a lot of my wagon vices, even the purpleheart, except for the screw / wedge difference. Are you able to remove the wagon easily?
I was very pleased last week that I built that feature into mine when I spilled glue on that area of the bench.

You are building a real beauty there. I’ll bet you can’t wait to start working with it rather than on it.
