Portable Dovetailing Bench

[Birdhunter]

Somewhere, I’ve seen a description along with build plans for a portable dovetailing bench. However, I can’t find it.

It looked perfect for clamping it on top of an MFT. It had a vise on the front that was tightened with two big handles.

I’ve done a bunch of searches on the forum without success.

I can probably remember enough to make something like what I saw, but the plans would help.
