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

Saw horses
Any chance you could put up some photos of the saw horses you used at the Woodworking olympic events? They looked very clever and I'd love to get an idea how they are put together. I live in San Antonio, TX. Unfortunately I'm a bit too far away to enroll in one of your classes.

saw horse photos
Will, There are some photos of the saw bench at on this blog at http://schoolofwood.com/node/41, Woodworking in America, Hand Tool Olympics. What to expect. The benches are not here now so I won't be able to photograph them for some time. e-mail me in a few weeks after the benches return home if you want some better or different photos. Mike
Nice benches Mike. Good luck
