That Dimmer switch thing is the bomb, just ordered one off Amazon.

I actually do have a piece of plywood above my bench for a go bar deck that works well. I also still carve my mandolin tops and backs by hand and the work holding on this table is going to be very helpful(I think anyway) in holding the frame that holds the back or top while I carve. Plus I do hand planing on some parts. So far so good, but I have not done much work because fall is here and the blistering NC heat is gone and well, I just want to be outside……Winter is coming and I’ll be in there soon enough.

That’s impressive! I found a Sjoberg’s Elite in very good condition on FBMP and offered the seller a ridiculous price. They bit, so that’s what I ended up with. I hurt for 2 days after tearing apart the old bench and converting it into a potting station for my daughter and moving the new one in. I wanted the vises and already love them. They are a vast improvement over my little Craftsman vise. I had lots of tools on the back of the old one and now have a clear area to work.

I see. I get the back thing. I struggle with headaches from all this kind of movement. Carve a mandolin top, get a headache.
