Hi reilimaster
It's about 25 years old maybe a bit more

it's made out of spruce ,most of it is 4" x 6" and some of it is 4" x 12" for stretchers, some of it's hard walnut for the vise face and 4 " x 4" for the legs and the foot base.
It's a bit longer than the norm, 8ft long and 4 ft wide at the shoulder vise with a tool tray on the back side and a 6" hole and a cloth bag to catch the chips from hand planing in the tool tray.
I have used it for everything as you can tell in the snapshots but I do recall how I made it and just about all the details.
They hold up well and if you buy one today you can drop over 700.oo to 1600.oo dollars so it's worth the effort and the time to make one it can be the most expensive shop tool you will have in your shop but you will have it for a long ,long time I'm sure.
But as long as you don't get carried away with buying high end lumber you can make one that will last a long time and that's not to expensive to build.

And if you cut a corner or two like making your own vise you will be happy with it because YOU made it your way.
