I am current working on mounting my newly purchased "Binding Tower" to a vice on my Sjobergs. I will post pictures soon. I bought the unit from John at BluesCreek. It seems like a very well made unit.

Can you clarify what you want me to measure? This may help viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5869

Sorry, I was talking about the go bar deck. How far off the bench top is the bottom of the go bar top? And of course I guess that the length of the go bars you are using would be part of the equation.

Because it is on threaded rods it is variable. My "Gobar Threaded" rods are 2 feet long, so I adjust it so the measurement would be 2 feet plus whatever material I am gluing. I can raise the deck to 3 feet because I used 3 foot rods. I use it this way for braces. For tops and and backs to sides I have another set of bars that I cut shorter.

Very nice go bar deck. Love the bench also.

Mine is a breakast in bed table my ten year old made for the wife. I bolted two by twos to it and I clamp it to a router table when I use it.

My rods are strips off wood I ripped and I wrapped masking tape on the ends for a little gripping.

I think I need an upgrade!!!!
