any way what you will need for this quick but very useful instructable
1 piece of scrap wood roughly the size of your vice.
another piece of wood measuring 3 inch x the length you want
wood glue.
3,1 inch screws
a screw driver or drill
ruler.
pencil/ scriber
Measure Your Wood
measure then saw the scrap wood.
you want to make it as long as you like.
mine is 3 inches for the vice bit
and 12 inches for the part that will lay across your bench.
Srew/glue Up
now you have 2 pieces of wood.
drill 3 pilot holes.
make sure your pilot holes are smaller than the screws
then lay the long bit that will go across the bench out flat.
then glue the smaller 3 inch bit at a 90 degree angle.
then let the glue bond
Add the Screws
once dried let the 3 inch bit lay in your vice.
then drive the 3 screws into the pilot holes
That,s It You Now Have a Bench Plate
