I like to make bowls and trays using a Lancelot tool. I've always had trouble securing the work piece while using the woodworking weapon (Lancelot tool). I cut some slabs from a piece of a live oak tree that fell in the yard earlier this year and decided to make a workbench that I could move outside the shop and still hold the work securely. I wanted it outside because the wood chips from the L-tool go everywhere and get into everything. I made a vice so I can hold the work vertically and keep a good grip on the Tasmanian Devil while I'm working. It works good and is heavy enough to keep things steady. It's also very rough so I won't get my feelings hurt if I hit it with the tool. It's pictured with a bolt for the vice handle. I've since put a piece of 3/8" pipe with caps in its place.
