No worries.
Just noticed that the setup in the link is left handed.

Where did you find the hand wheel?

Where did you find the hand wheel?

I purchased the hand wheel on eBay . This was the cheapest option. I looked at Australian supplies but the cost for the two handwheels I needed for the tail vice and leg vies would have been close to $180.

currently I am up to a third try on connecting the tail vice to the workbench and am having considerable issues. Once I have an option that works I will post some pictures.
