February prize is a double and all you need to do to be eligible for these great prizes is to create an account on the Board Room Woodworking Forum. You can hop on over there by clicking here.

First: from Lee Valley is the Veritas Surface Vise.

This clamp combines the holding functions of a quick-release tail vise with the portability of a bench dog. It can be positioned at any angle — vertical through horizontal — and, since work is held between the jaw and any fixed work stop, clamping capacity is limited only by the size of the mounting surface.

The double posts mount in 3/4" holes. The forward post has a clearance hole to guide the clamping rod, and a wedging mechanism that anchors it firmly in through-holes in material as thin as 1" (depending on the strength of the material) or in blind holes at least 1-5/16" deep. The rear post seats in blind holes at least 2" deep and has a quick-release mechanism for adjusting the projection of the rod.

Second: from Lee Valley is one pair of Round Bench Dogs and one pair of Round Bench Pups.

The bench dogs (at 4-3/8") are standard length. The Bench Pups® (at 2-3/8") are fine for benches with tops up to 2" thick and ideal for bench sides; just drill holes in the skirt or the edge of the top. Available individually or in pairs of either dogs or pups.

On a personal note: I've owned both of these prizes for quite some time now and to tell you that I couldn't be happier with them is an understatement.

All the best
