The leg-vise

A heavy 6 cm thick woodslab of ash it is

rough-sawn and starting to plane

the hole for the screw

the hole in the leg ... if the hook moves you are not straight

screwing in the screw ;-)

one advantage of holes in the workbench: a big scew on the underside is no problem :-)

what the f... !!!  surgery for a broken screw

another advantage of holes in the workbench: more clamping possibilities

yeah! ... perfect wedged tenon for the distance-board

the distance-board

what a beauty

what curves, what grain!

perfect fit
(the non-parallel-look of the screw and board is because the weight of the leg and yet no counter-screw)

to do: turning a handle, fitting the counterscrew on the back of the leg, trimming the top-edge
