Decided to finish it

Furnished content.

I have been procrastinatingcuttingthe dovetails for the end cap that holds the screw for the wagon vise. So I finally got on the stick and did it. The first photo is routing out the two different slots for the wagon vise. Then the nut from a shoulder vise screw purchased from Lee Valley morticed in to the end cap. The actual block will be screwed to the trapped that slides in the grooves. The piece goes in cross grain to with stand the pressure put on bythe screw,It has to have enough clearance so the block will slide but not have any extra room so it will not rockin the groove. I put coat of finish on everything. Iwill do at least anothercoat and then past wax so it slides easily. You can see the amount of travel the block will have

Next I started fitting the nut for the wooden screw for the leg vise. I have the block fitted and held in place with lag screws bit took it off to put finish the fresh cut ends. Things stay better when all parts have finish on then. Finish helps control wood movement because of humidity. I said helps control, notstop wood movement.
