Topic tags/keywords: watch bench tools Hi fellow woodworkers. My son is entering a career in watchmaking and I would like to build him a watchmakers bench . I would appreciate if anyone that has built one in the past that would share their experience and provide me with information either on their project or where they were able to get information that would help me plan this project. -- Kevin, Saskatoon, SK, Canada |

Google is your friend. Just googled watchmakers workbench came up with many examples. Link to the one I built http://lumberjocks.com/projects/228618 Do a search on this site for hobby benches etc. -- Bruce, Boise, ID |

Master surgeon! Then I found woodworking was a bit less technical. I would suggest building in elbow pads and adding a pegboard backwall. Next time I’m at my buddies I’ll grab a pic of his setup. -- Matthew 13:53-58 |

Thank you Bruce. That looks like exactly what I am looking for. It looks like a well crafted workbench. Would still like more ideas and designs before I chose. I certainly would install elbow pads to the bench. Thanks r33tc0w for your story. I hope that the relief felt from finding the watch was more overwhelming than the loss of it. It was God’s way of teaching you a lesson. Woodworking is way less technical than watchmaking but my son has the talent and patience for it. Take care. -- Kevin, Saskatoon, SK, Canada |

My sister-in-law’s husband has been a watch maker for 30+ years. He has back and shoulder trouble – most likely from being hunched over at his table all those years. I would suggest that you make a watchmakers bench with adjustable height so he can work seated or standing on on a tall chair. -- Steve - Impatience is Expensive |

That is a great idea. I will have to find some kind of hydraulic legs for it. -- Kevin, Saskatoon, SK, Canada |
