Project Information
Since I'm retired in Costa Rica and have only a drill, jigsaw, and trim router I thought I'd make them more useful by making a multi-tool work bench…...My neighbor donated the bench he had made for his TV and I tore it apart, squared it up,added a drop leaf, and varnished it…..... mounted the jigsaw in a box with a sliding top and guide made with pipe….....the router is removable and adjustable manually…....the drill press is very stable and very accurate…...I have replaced the aluminum slides with drawer slides and they work excellent…...I added a small wood vise at the front for clamping small projects…...overall I think it turned out pretty good and certainly is handy…....Someone mentioned it looks like a cow…....The only bad part is my wife won't let use it in the house…....She doesn't agree with the sawdust and noise….....Fortunately the weather is always sunny here so I can use it in the carport…....
