Nicholson Bench, cutting up lumber

I measured my van and I had length enough for an 88 inch long bench so I cut four 88 inch lengths from my planks, two for the top and two for the side boards. The balance was cut up to make legs, stretchers, and cross bearers. I have a mortiser and a tenoner so I made 2 inch by 1/2 inch tenons on my stretchers. The leg to stretcher joints could just as well be half laps, the notches in the legs created during glue up. I set the lumber aside to season and went to work on the vise.If you look at the original engraving from Nicholson you will see that the bench is about 12 feet long, since I compressed the bench in length I also compressed the vise to allow more bench top to be open for sticking moldings. I used a piece of 2×8×22 inch maple for the vise check. I also glued up 3 maple blanks 3×3×22 inches for the planing stops and guide bar, they ended up being 2 3/4 inches square. I drew out the position of the bench top, leg, planing stop, guide bar and screw right on the vise check. I then drew in the location of the of the guide tube parts. Now that I know where everything goes I bored the hole for the screw to pass through and mortised the guide bar to the check with a double mortise and glued it together making sure the guide bar was perpendicular to the face of the check. Because I want the bench to also work left handed the guide bar and screw are located on the center line of the check. I left the check long so I could cut it down after it is installed. I drilled holes in the legs for stock support cut the notch to receive the side boards and then glued up the base of the bench. The base is 22 3/8×60×30 1/2, With the top installed the bench will stand 32 inches tall.
