Workshop Cabinet

Project by Emlyn posted 176 days ago 426 views 0 times favorited 5 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This cabinet is designed to be a stable and heavy bench for my mitre saw. It’s a recycled Rimu frame, with panels of MDF that I happened to have lying around. The frame is dovetailed together, and re-enforced with some totally unnecessary coach screws (that’s lag bolts for you americans).

Thanks for the translation. I would have thought coach screws were positive reinforcements for the other screws.

Pabs, the bench isn’t mine I’m afraid, it’s owned by a friend in a shared workshop I use. It’s an old shipwright’s workbench. Old, solid and reliable, but it has great big front and back aprons, which make it hard to clamp things down to it except on the ends, and it has no dog holes or tail vice.

I’m working on a new bench of my own at the moment. Pictures of the base are here, but I haven’t bothered to create a lumberjocks project for it yet as it’s a few weeks away from being finished (he says, optimistically).
