    I saw on this list someone asking about a mini bench, since then I
    saw something that impressed me.  Since many of you go to trade shows
    and the like, or their club puts on demonstrations, some have talked
    to classes of school children, or travel, some also live in
    apartments etc. I must say I was very impressed, so don't let the
    source throw you, this is almost a work of art. 

    The only real defect this bench has (as is) is that there is no
    bench pin, this can be fixed. I am not sure where I saw it but there
    is an add a pin that screws on to a bench with a small area to use as
    a light anvil that dose the same thing as the better known one that
    clamps on to the bench. As is this will simply lay on a table, with a
    minor adjustment (a board screw or nailed on) this can be used with a
    workmate type portable clamping bench you can get on Amazon dot com
    (free shipping) for $30-35 depending on the model. If nothing else
    this may give someone ideas, also for a do it yourself, Grizzly, one
    of those clamp bench makers also has a maple butcher block bench top
    36x24. In any event you can see this bench at
