Okay, I have not built any bows in many, many moons. But, my daughters and grandkids are asking for some. I decided to go with a few blanks from bowyer's to keep cost and equipment down, as I will be doing the vast amount with hand rasp and files. I still build whole slew of arrows. I am looking for idea's on a good bow building table, I know that a quality vise is mandatory and still have mine. But, looking for idea's of what everyone else has, as I am going to have to build a new table anyway. Idea's, suggestion's and pictures are always welcome.

Ideally you want the vise so you can get all around it while working. Just the vise mounted on a post would be the easiest.I have my vise mounted to the corner of my work bench but it is awkward getting to the off side to work.

Speaking of vises I need a new one. One project I have been putting off for a couple years is a simple Bowyers Bench.
