I've never had my own 'proper' workbench, in the past it's been someone else's or a cobbled together CLS and Ply jobbie. I've been meaning to make one ever since a customer kindly gifted me an old Record no. 52½E vice... and that was 10 years ago!
Since being in the new workshop, I've really missed the use of a vice so this week I got cracking... putting in a bit of effort so it'll last and perhaps be something (baby) Rory can have when he's older... In the meantime I'll try not to run the router into it too many times!
A few, but not many, pictures of the build. I cut the tenons (no pics) on Stephen's (from the forum) bandsaw.
The White Beech design is loosely based on the Carlyle Lynch workbench, the bench dogs.(co.uk) are aluminium. The whole lot (sans vice) cost about £180. I'll be feeding it Danish oil for the next couple of days.
Happy weekend,
Jim.
Need.
More.
Sleep... eurgh.
