Thanks Cheiftang! Yes, it is Quarter Sawn Red Oak with the natural minwax stain and a few coats of clear coat (sanded between coatings). I didn't build it. I have a good friend with a machine/wood shop and his tools are way better than mine. He did do the front channel with an edge guide. Thanks all for the comments! I really love it. It has far exceeded my expectations and the height is just perfect. Far more comfortable now!

Thanks O/S! The lighting is actually much brighter than it looks in the pics. I have a Dazor florescent lamp and then the two side fill lamps. It's nice and bright!! I'd love to see your new light though. That might help instead of the side fill lamps. They are bright, but a little obnoxious!

First of all, thanks to you guys and this fantastic community! With all your input and suggestions, I was able to design, and have built, a great table top watchmakers bench. Here's some pics of the completed project: The wrist rests work perfectly (after I hacked them apart with a saw to mount them!). They are super comfortable and are positioned perfectly! They come off and stow away nicely in the drawer below. I am still waiting for the brass hardware to come and then it will be complete. You can read about the original design here

HI guys. Right behind HackR, here is my 2000th post! Thanks for a great year so far guys. You are the best!!!

Thanks R! This gives me a gratuitous excuse to post my 1,999th post!!

Great review as always BT! Thanks for the new pics and congrats on the new insert! Gotta love this community!!!

Sorry J! Just had to do it! Go for the TJ version with the custom made dial. His turned out really well! @RM88 - thanks for the kind words! I keep trying to learn some new trick every day, but it seems as though it's an endless adventure! I must say, I do enjoy the painstaking process of taking pictures!

Thanks RM! Yes, it is true love Certainly the one watch I have taken the most pics of at this point!

Andy - any chance we could see pics of the process? I think it would be super helpful for a lot of folks (including me )

Glad I could help! Ordered one too! If anyone wants one overseas, PM me and I'll see what I can do to help out. NOTE: Only 10 hours left on this sale

TELNET Chat Session??? Really? Man that is old school!

Awesome review mma! Thanks for taking the time to do such an in detail comparison!!! It's an awesome rep. AR looks decent too by the looks of that one picture. Its a nice, simple TAG that looks quite smart!

Close behind you my friend! Congrats! Here's to another 2k!

Strap Dimples? Could you expand on that a little bit? To me a dimple would be an indentation in the case between the lugs, or am I thinking of this wrong?

@Modelizer - +1 How's the rest of the album??

@Henrik - that Rob Dougan video (and song) is awesome!! Love that track!
