Reddit reviews Yost Tools Y18SS Yost 18" Vise Screw

I built this workbench as a stress reliever from work, along with the fact that I needed a solid bench. The design came from the Jay Bates budget work bench (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg5qjed7u-k). The final dimensions came out to 2'W x 6'L x 33"H. I put a tool tray on the back side and drilled a couple of dogholes for hand planing. The leg vise screw came from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Yost-Tools-Y18SS-Vise-Screw/dp/B01M2109GD/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541380059&sr=8-1&keywords=leg+vise+screw&dpID=31Rf5g8-EpL&preST=_SX342_QL70_&dpSrc=srch). The only power tools used were a router and drill, other than that I used all hand tools.

If you just want a leg vise, you can get the hardware for <$50. I got this one for $35, but now I guess an algorithm bumped the price back up to $50. Maybe it'll go back down? In any case, for $50 I'd rather go with this Veritas tail vise screw. Then you just need some wide scrap pieces to make the chop. edit: I suppose I should add I also had to buy the 1-1/4" auger bit that was like $25 too and like $5 for a 1" dowel for the handle, but you could make the handle.
