Is the current design different than in Paul’s book and companion DVD?
There are some differences. I built mine from the book and used standard construction grade lumber. If you plan on moving yours around to different locations you might consider the latest video method for wedging the legs so they can be removed. The well board is a bit different too. The book methood worked out fine for mine. If your just getting started though I would consider the relationship to your vice and the thickness of the top. You want the top of your vice to be flush or slightly below the top of the bench.
Hello David,
Here are the main differences:
1. This bench is smaller, it is shorter, only has one side, and is easier to move
2. This series is more thorough (we missed showing vise fitting last time)
3. This bench build includes full measurements (you can still adapt it but you have a solid starting point)
Best, Phil
