Saw Bench

I like it, Mauricio. Very basic, but a nice clean (yet rustic) aesthetic.

It’s very liberating to do everything by eye…

These are often my favorite projects.

Oh I see the end plan Mauricio. You get the boys to service your car, so you get more time to work wood. I like the way you think my friend. Looks great by the way.

LOL, Andy, that was one of the many projects that kept me from my wooden screw project. I saved $200 by changing my own oxygen sensor (very easy by the way). Then spring yard work. I then realized after a comment I made to you that I had about 8 incomplete projects in the shop. The saw bench is one of those. I have one more I’ll post later today.

This week I WILL start carving that wooden screw!

Brandon, thanks! It was a nice excuse to use my braces, they are still rusty though, yet another incomplete project…

Rusty braces are A-ok in my book. Let’s face it, we all can’t have Andy’s tools or his restoration abilities (or his godly patience). I tend to spend a lot of time cleaning tools that that are more affected by the rust—planes, chisels, saws—but so far my braces have worked just fine with a little bit of rust on them.

Looks great Mauricio. Couple of fine looking mechanics too.

I like it and it is obvious your boys do too. You have fine looking boys and a fine looking bench. Life is good!!

That bench will have many uses. Nice construction and well built. Good job.

Looks great Mauricio, I like the rustic design on this. Enjoy using it!

Take care,

Legs are Oak firewood – I love it.

What a multi purpose bench. My wife would want that for our entry.

Thanks for the comments guys, they are much appreciated!

Brandon your braces might have a little less rust than mine. Mine are pretty crusty, but your right, they work just the same except for the ratcheting action, too rusty for that.

Don, these rustic benches are all over the Country living magazines. You should make her one they are a fun project.

Even before gluing the legs in I I’ve been using it, for sawing, for the kids, for reaching the top of my tool cabinet. Tons of uses, it’s just that the legs would always fall out when I moved it, ha ha ha.

Thanks again all for looking and commenting.

Roughed out legs with Machete….

Definite galoot and man points awarded for such an activity. I love this design of bench. I might have to make one as my second saw-bench…two is always better than one.

I was finishing a book shelf this weekend and I was wishing I had two of these to lay it on.

Very nice, cant say my projects by eye come out that well, but you are right, it is very liberating

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.
