This is my interpretation of the classic woodworking bench.
Materials:
- 3″ thick Maple Butcherblock top – 24″ x 72″
- 4 x 4 Mahogany Legs
- Mahogany stretchers
- 2″ thick solid maple vise faces
- Twin screw vises from Lee Valley Tools
Features:
- Twin screw vises from Lee Valley Tools – Front and side
- Tons of 3/4″ holes on the top for bench dogs and hold-downs
- Tons of 3/4″ holes on the legs for supporting doors and boards in the vises.
- Under bench trays for tools – Later I will add ball bearing drawer slides.
- Rubber feet – Helps keep the bench in place and moisture from wicking up from the cement floor. Feet from Home Depot fit the 3.5″ x 3.5″ legs perfectly
- Bolt together construction. The vises, legs, and stringers all bolt to the top. The bench can be broken down for easy transport.
