    Click on screenname as Mark said, select profile, then scroll down until you see the community map in lower left, click on view full size map at bottom of map, then click My Location in upper right of map. Now comes the finagle part , click Update Locate, enter zip code, city, state or wherever you want to be.  If you choose Current Location it uses your IP address of your internet provider.  Finagle with the map itself to get the location you want. Then click Save when done.

    My table and accessories have arrived.  I was asked in PMs from a couple of members to do a review once I received the order from Lee Valley. Haven't had much time to really test it out but my first impressions follow:
     
    The table is impressive and well made.  It's laminated Birch plywood, 12 plys, 5/8 inch thick, 4 rubber feet measuring 5/8 inch high are attache d with screws to the underside, overall table is 8 inches wide by 11 inch long, holes are 7/16 inch diameter spaced 1-1/2 inch apart in each x-y direction, rows indent approximately 1 inch from each edge. I checked the mini vice and there is not enough clearance under the table to install it.  You would have to remove the rubber feet and make new legs.
     
    Footnote: After re-reading the instructions for the mini vice it appears to require a bench top thickness of 1-1/4 inches. This table top is only 5/8 inches thick, so some modifications would be needed.
     
    The accessories are tiny but well made as would be expected of Lee Valley. I would recommend storing them is some type of parts drawer or box so they don't get lost on the workbench.

    Using my ceramic sharpening stone and the miniature honing guide to sharpen one of the miniature chisels
     

     
    I didn't do a lot of setup work or try to do any serious work, just some quick tests with a couple of planes.    It sat pretty flat on my work bench and didn't move around when I was planing but if I was doing something more strenuous it might need clamping to the bench to keep it from sliding around.  The rubber feet could be removed and longer legs attached to give it more height of the work bench/table.
     
    All in all I think it is a worthwhile investment, especially for those with a small workshop and workbench.  I didn't order the hold down accessory because I didn't think I would need it but I may reconsider that decision.  As I use it more I will post updates and/or suggestions.
