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.
