You're welcome Mike. It's interesting you linked me to those woods I used, 'cause I've never used them before that plane. The Bubinga I got as part of a bronze hammer swap and the paduke was a cutoff I got from a friends shop. It was a fun project and the first time I tried knurling a knob. These swaps are great place to push the skill set. Based on your post above it's a good thing I didn't make you a screwdriver.
RocJok... I've used that little bench quite a bit I made it about 28 years ago inspired by an article in the April 1941 issue of American Rifleman magazine. The article was called "Another Smallest" maybe someone with stronger Google Fu can find it on line. I tried and failed. If someone wants a copy send me a PM with an email and I'll send them a scan. The original called for a box and drawers accessed from the back. I still might build per the article.
The dimensions of top is 8 1/4" X 19" X 1 5/16" the height is 7 3/8" the legs are 1 3/4" square. Here is another photo or two.
