My Woodworking Workbench


Materials:

  • 3" thick Maple Butcherblock top - 24" x 72"
  • 4 x 4 Mahogany Legs
  • Mahogany strechers
  • 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.

I found The Workbench Book by Scott Landis to be inspirational in designing my workbench.
