$16 shipping. Too rich.

Thanks for the heads up, Todd. This looks excellent.

Nice tops - I bought one for my garage bench last year when they were on sale. Good deal if you can pick them up from the store.

Steve, the shipping is actually astonishingly reasonable. $20 for the 24x84 to CA. I imagined freight.

My bench has a lot of character, but it's small and not the most stable. I'm seriously considering one of these.

Wow, that's a lot cheaper than I would have thought.

Thanks for the tip, Todd. I snagged the small benchtop and side vise hardware.

Pat, would you mind linking the side vise you chose? I was looking at the Veritas and LN chain driven vises, but those are higher ticket items and would need to come later.

James,

I chose this one: http://www.woodcraft.com/product/2004875/7501/woodriver-small-front-vise.aspx It's on the small side, but large enough I think, for my needs. No frills, but decent materials and construction. I needed the smaller one because I'll be mounting it on the end of the bench and want it to take up a minimum of space along the bottom of the bench where drawers and shelves will also reside.

Pat
