Top and legs are from re-cycled 6 3/4”x 27” glue lam beams. The boarder is ash. The recessed tool trays are 2-3/4” deep. The tail vise was a side dog hole built in and need to turn the handle. The leg vise and the dog support board are built on rails. The slidding tool board, or vertical shelves, are evolving at this time, but will have chisels, files, hammers, lay out tools… The dog holes in the top need completed. This is one heavt S.O.B.

This is a fine workbench! It appears to be practical, durable and well thought out. Thank you for sharing.
I especially like the vises. I’m rather ignorant about leg vises. How does that work, exactly? Is the bottom horizontal member attached to the vertical board and slide in and out of a mortise in the rail (vertical member behind the vise board)? Do those two vertical pieces, the one with the holes and the one behind the leg vise, slide to different positions? Thanks!

I hope you don’t mind if I borrow some of your ideas. I’m working on my own bench right now. Poplar and red oak. Maple is too much money. If you don’t mind me asking about the wooden screw on your side vice – did you make it or buy it? I like that feature a lot.

That puppy looks strong enough to park a couple trucks on. Very slick design and a great build.

Love the bench. Tell me more about the glue lam beams. I thought they were like plywood with many thin lams but yours look solid. How did you flatten the top? How did you move the top?
