Completed tha majority of the bench-build with the exception of a stabilising cross-member and drilling holes to bolt my vise on.  Like I said - I'm no carpenter so I built the thing and then put it where I want it to go - trouble is, the floor may not be 100% level either, so I'll need to add shims under a couple of the legs :(  Other than that, I'm fairly confident it'll serve it's purpose.

My son played a blinder helping me too!  I wish I'd taken a picture of his face when I told him I wanted him to drill in some screws...  :D

I retired at 52 as well, best move I ever made, 28 years of swing shift was enough.

 Good for you Greg. I hope things work out for you the way you planned.

Yesterday I dropped the Osage logs off for one of the demos at OJAM , today I will spend all day at OU canser with my mother , she was diagnosed with canser on the Monday before Thanksgiving and had surgery on January 11 of this year . She is a fighter and doesn't give up. She lost her tounge and is taking radiation treatments and chemo and that's what we are doing today.

Gluing nocks and screwing field tips onto a set of shafts that've been sitting there for over two years  :-[

Man, I was out of the game a loooong time!  I'm making up for it now, though :D
