		<description><![CDATA[So you know your bench is old when&#8230;. I finally got the watchmaker&#8217;s bench out of the back of the Mission studio, and took it home to finish refinishing it. Here&#8217;s where it sits now.  All the basic sanding is done, and the first coat of stain is on.  I ended up staining it with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time for an update on that Oak watchmaker&#8217;s bench I found back in February. I now understand why I don&#8217;t refinish furniture.  By the time I get this thing done, I&#8217;m going to have 60-80 hours in it, just in sanding! On the other hand, under the dark brown stain, it&#8217;s absolutely beautiful wood.  Some [...]]]></description>

The following are Lee&#8217;s comments.  Mine will follow. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Brian and I have been working on a solution for some time on how to retrofit the cam-lever tensioning to the spring/knurled nut saw frame.
