Workbench

wow, nice looking bench!! are you sure you dont want that in your diningroom to eat off of??

Beautiful bench. You will do better work when you have stable work surface. Safer too. I also commend you for displaying your planes properly, “on their sides”.

Very nicely done. I’m in the process of building my bench out of ash as well. I hope it ends up looking like this.

That’s a clean,sharp looking work horse there Bob ! Looking forward to some projects that will role off the assembly table that You have created and by the look of this first post, I am sure they will be some good ones. Welcome to L J’s and as always stay safe !

Very nice work. I really do need to make one for myself. I am using MORE hand tools and do not have proper bench yet. POWER tools and HAND tools do need 2 different types of work bench,

I, too, want to use hand tools more and have found that a stable bench is essential. I’m glad to know that ash will work because maple is certainly out of my budget unless I make a good score somewhere.

Too pretty to use!

Thanks guys. Really going to enjoy putting this to use. Occurs to me I didn’t get a picture of the front vise. I’ll add one.

Yeah Deke, built cabinets along entire wall. Would have liked to use higher end material but budget and wife would not allow me to. Ended up using 3/4” MDF. I have pictures of my shop posted.

Thats’ a bench to die for, or perhaps really to live with.
Beautiful job,
