Plans with dimensions are up. There's two files, the main body and the till/rail details.

Yes, I'm working on the pdf for this and will add it once it's done. I didn't do much of the design ahead of time after settling on the main dimensions and materials as most of the measurements needed for later bits are determined by these decisions.
View Instructable »It would be a nice project. My great grandfather was a carpenter but almost nothing he had survived, my grandfather used almost anything he could find as a bludgeon when working on his car!There's some very nice takes on the syle out there including one I saw with a hinge at the back which lets the top of the lid fold back to make a surface to rest tools on while working. Good luck with your build!

I actually ended up getting a pair of proper lead screws and nuts for about €40 posted so Moxn vice is next hopefully.

I had a look at scaffolding jack screws alright, there's some really ingenious approaches to making a moxon out there. Another one I've seen is the bar from weight sets which is 1" threaded steel. Unfortunately shipping is a killer unless thye can be found locally!My intention is to do a budget version of the fancy benchcrafted one. They are kind enough to provide detailed specs of their design, most of the cost is for the tapped handwheels. I've ordered a set of 350mm length x 20mm diameter leadscrews with a single hex nut each (€40 delivered) and will be making up my own handwheels. I've scrounged all the other bits needed and have figured out a way to fix the screws in a way that doesn't require a second lock nut (They are more expensive then the lead screws themselves!) so …
