Workbenches and WIA

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Since the great fun we had at WIA in St. Charles, IL I have been busy getting ready for a class here at Mike Siemsen's School of Woodworking with Garrett Hack. I just finished building two more benches today. I have also recently built a base for a vintage top and rebuilt a bench that I built over 19 years ago, lowering it to 34" from 42" and removing the Record and Emmert iron vises and fitting it with wooden vises of my own making. I hope Garrett likes working at it. It is 96 inches long. If you are in our area you may want to attend a talk by Garrett Hack at the Chisago Lakes Area Library on Tuesday at 7 pm. This is also a meeting of the Minnesota Woodworkers Guild. If you are attending the WIA conference in Valley Forge stop by and say hello! better yet stop by and compete in the Olympics!! Mike
