	I took a look at the Popular Mechanics article on woodworker's
	benches and have these comments:
	1. The bench is much deeper than the traditional woodworker's
	  bench.  I just completed a 24" X 48" coffee table - the 15"
          depth of my Sears bench was very useful many times during the
 	  project.  Woodworkers have developed a long, narrow bench with
          vises as they are with good reasons (isn't woodworking the
          second oldest profession?) and I would caution anyone with
          general woodworking needs who tries to improve on the design
	  or builds a maverick like the PM bench.
	2. The reason I didn't build my own bench was a lack of sources
	  for the hardware - vises, dogs, etc. - needed.  The PM article
	  gave the following source for such:
		Garrett Wade
		161 Ave. of the Americas
		New York, NY 10013
	  I would appreciate comments on this place.
