Between you and watching videos of Elia Bizzarri and Curtis Buchanan, you're making me want to make a Windsor chair. I guess I need to add that to my list of things to do...

Thanks for doing this!

Re: the bench moving, I use a lighter English style bench, and I’ve started using my foot to stop it from moving. The same way when using a shave horse the pulling causes you to push hard on the peddle, and so tighter on the stock, I use my foot to brace one of the legs, so when I pull with the drawknife it pushes on the leg. It still hops sometimes with real heavy cuts, especially in the tangential plane but overall a simple fix. Works great when using the leg vise too to shape material
