Easy Tail Vise

This is an easy alternative to the complex trad tail vise. It’s not quite as versatile as the trad vise but much more useful than the wagon wheel with the single dog hole.

This bench was built in 1981 only as a stop gap. I was on a working / surfing holiday in Australia and soon became very busy. I went native and it was 10 years before I visited the U.S. again. Along the way I built trad benchs for others. The bench has had a few alterations along the way.

The bottom of the bench has a groove for the screw and one for the outrigger. Two grooves support the traveling dogs.
