Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
to start on my wb wips again.i used a plunge router with 3/4 diameter straight bit and straight guide to create a 3/4 long tongue on each edge of the glued panels.
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
routed and then the result
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
forgot to take pics,i flip the table over to make another pass to complete the tongue.
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
on the rt,i create a groove into the left and right end cap, this serves as the mating surface of the panels tongue.

Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
nice aprons Jon, consider recessing the front vise before glue-up, that is if you intend to have one...

Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
now the hardest part of the process,the tail vise(screw vise) installation.
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
drilling a hole appropriate to the diameter of rhe screw vise.i use hole saw in this process(sorry no pics)
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
it's the dog runs turn na.making a jig for the dog holes.
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
with a pattern bit,drill a 3/4 deep multiple pass groove 6" apart .this is to make consistent dog holes in the workpiece.as you see,the jig will ride into the workpiece,i fastened the jig with a 1" finishing nail.and screwed it into the workpiece.
Re: My workbench build (Jonathancruz)
this are the grooves for the dog holes.
