workbenches from Sweden

Project by workbenchmaker posted 245 days ago 1707 views 12 times favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

We have made workbenches for more than 100 years now I make only about 12 large benches each year.

My shop was built by my father and his two brothers 1945.

look at my homepage http://www.workbenches.se/

I have made workbenches to 10 different countries and I love my work .

My last posting went after your previous response, so I see you are the same person….I was just curious, your name is in one of my books and I simply admire the bench screws you make.

Leif, this is a gorgeous bench. A tool like this is something that most of us would be proud to have in our shops.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed this.

Hi Leif

Outstanding craftsmanship! You are a true master of your craft. It is a bench that will last a life time and for many generations to come. Those are quite the impressive clamps that you use! Thank you for posting.

What are the different woods in this bench?

God Bless

I’d love to have one too. But I guess I will just have to keep the one I got. Great looking benches Leif and great craftsmanship.

A very impressive workbench. Some great tooling to make the screws. And you use the screws to clamp your own wood. A nice job
