Default Ancient workbench with cam vice?

I think I remember someone posting a workbench they saw at a museum that had a vice that was cam actuated. Does anyone have a link to this? There was supposed a DVD with plans to buy at some point. Hope this is the right site.

Hi Peter

Not sure if this one you are talking about But Roy Underhill made one that was a copy of a museum work bench...that was cam action type...but I don't recall seeing it on a DVD just in his books...

The Swingley bench doesn't look to me like it has a cam vice. It looks like a screw leg vice. I'm ordering most of the Underhill books from the library system.

The bench I remember was a reproduction for a museum if I remember the poster had noticed it and snapped pictures. Stated that after asking who made it he was told there would be a how-to CD for sale.
