The top is attached to the base with drawbored mortise and tenon. If you mean "rising" dovetail, I didn't want the end grain of the legs protruding above my bench top during changes in seasonal conditions. Roy Underhill built a nice little Roubo with rising dovetails last year on The Woodwright's Shop, which was fun to watch. But Roubo's bench from plate 11 uses a double tenon, not a rising dovetail. I like that joint, but I'm also not as brave as Roy. ;-)
I did not really think that sliding leg vice was that great, I mean a sliding deadman with a hold fast could do the same work, or close to it, then I saw the long board held between the two leg vices at about 6:30 and I now see why you would want to go to the extra effort of making the sliding leg vice.
Super nice bench, and certainly a fun video to watch, thanks!
How come you don't lie your plane down on its side at 3:05?

That's fantastic. Thanks for putting that up.
I've had a look at your website but can't find any details of the removable (and movable) leg vice at 4.27.
Do you have construction details for this?
Many thanks.

Thanks! I made this bench in 2008.

@Benchcrafted thanks a lot for answering to me, very kind of you. You score with that words, end grain above the bench top is not the best way

Watching somebody planing is a heck of a lot more interesting that watching somebody sanding.
