Great podcast as usual Bob.
As a Professional Gunsmith for over 30 years I can’t count the number of times I have ground then filed a screwdriver to fit a screw I needed to either remove or reinstall. Parallel sides are paramount especially when I am working on a $100,000.00 shotgun. When I finish it is imperative that nobody can tell I have removed or replaced the screws!
The sawhorse workbench I feel would work only if it is attached to the wall for rigidity and support. I do like the idea though of attaching the saw horses to a 4×8 sheet of plywood and use the body for weight and support.
