It's Done
Well here it is, old frame with a new top and vise.
Looks pretty good, I'm real happy witht he work surface from Johnson's Workbench. The new top is 24" x 60" x 1-3/4". I re-worked the frame to let the top hang over 1 foot on each end for vise mounting and working room. I also lowered it to 32" high which makes it more stable. It will be a bench to sit at to work, rather than stand. I'll have to force myself to set if I have a lot of bench work to do.
The new vise is Woodcraft's small Front Vise. The Vise tail is out of a piece of 1-1/2" hard Maple that J0hnson's had in the Short Board section. Now it time to get to work a a couple of projects that I have.

Wow! I was shocked to see a post on a work day. Your "new" bench looks great. . . much more useful than before. What projects are you going to work on next?
It Christmas time... Can't say much
