Hi Sue. Thanks for your comments. I can't recall having any problems fitting the vices other than some careful measuring before I drilled the holes for the guide bars. If the vice is tight you may need to shim the mounting plate that bolts to the underside of the bench to check it's square. Also check that the guide bars have plenty of clearance around the holes you drilled in the face of the bench. When I built the bench I was in the same position as Paul Sellers in that I didn't have a bench to build the bench so I also build a set of tressles based on Pauls design. I've not used them since I built the bench LOL 😃 Post some pictures of your bench 👍

Hi Murray I am not an Advance Steel software developer, I am just an enthusiastic user. If you think that the Filename Selector needs additional fields then maybe you could go to the Advance Steel ideas page and add the request. Besides, the Sequence Number is already an option in the Drawing Name tokens in the Filename Selector Regards Nial

Hi, Sorry I was asking a question to know if the sequence number that is added to the file name is available as Token. I would use it like Sheet 1 of 3. I have a system built for a client that uses duplicate sheets for some assemblies. I can manually edit prototype but a Sequence Token would be handy. Sounds like it is not possible currently.

Hi Michael. The bee hives are on hold temporarily as I have been roped in for some DIY. My son has an old farmhouse and there is a lot of oak in the house. I have just finished building an oak frame for a partition wall - the oak will be expose so I used rough sawn oak and then weathered it. It looks great! I used mortice and tenon joints and oak pegs in the joints to draw them together.

👍 hello friend

I can't remember exactly where I got the two vices from but loads of people sell them. Mine probably came from Axminster Tools but Rutlands sell them. Just search for 'Woodworking Front Vice' in Google. I think they even sell them on Amazon. Classichandtools.com do a good range. I stayed clear of the Veritas vices because it just seems to me that you pay extra for a name (like most Veritas stuff) Rutland Front Vice £49.99, Veritas quick release front vice £369.00. It will cost you an extra £319.00 to save you winding a handle and being able to tell everyone how you bought the Veritas because it is the Rolls Royce of vices LOL :0)

Hi. Yes, it is :) The next project is an Oak porch for my son's farmhouse.
