In building my workbench I also built a simple traditional deadman to help support long boards at the bench.

This simple to build workbench accessory is as a great addition to any bench with a tail vise.

If you’d like to learn more about this bench and how to build one for yourself, please check out my blog post on this topic over on the Popular Woodworking site here.
Take care,
