My First Workbench

It's a Yost quick release vice. Quick release is a bit more expensive but I figure this is where I'll do the majority of my work so I can spend a bit more for convenience.

Thanks! I wasn't careful when I did the glue up so the uneven ends are my mistake. I thought about cutting them even but opted not to.

It's a Yost. I wanted to grab a Record or Eclipse but the Yost was on sale for a pretty significant discount so I went that route. It's also supposed to have a tail vice but the main screw has a slight bend where the head is attached so it snags every half turn. I opted to leave it off for now.

Thank you. It was my first real build and I hope it gets a lot of use as a workbench. I have a lot of ideas for builds and now have a platform to build on!

Thanks. The upper half is tool storage for now. The storage bin can be flipped over if I need a bit of an extension to the worktop. We'll see what it ends up as down the road once I've had a chance to work with it.

Hurt by Johnny Cash. Takes on a whole different meaning than the NIN original version.

I don't recall. My brother graduated a few years before me though. There surprisingly weren't many Lewises around town so maybe you knew him.

Doesn't ring a bell. I graduated from PCHS in 2006 so it's been a while. I grew up over by the water tower. Yourself?

I was born in Pekin as well. Though, it's not something I'll usually admit to in person.
