just a little 8 ft work bench i thru togeather took about 3 months. SOME OLD PINE BOARDS I HAD === DIDN’T EVEN TAKE OFF THE BARK.
has an attachable vise that mounts on the rt side and is stored in the cabinet below. that is a whole story in it’s self
for more pictures let me know. by the way i built it on a motorcycle lift THAT WAS A GOD SENT.
FOR THE REST OF THE STORY =
those wheels are on the back of the vice to roll it back into it’s stall in the bottom shelf. that other mecanizum is a sliding door latch for a barn === hooked to a chain that holds it tight to the top of the bench. it has 2 hooks on the front .
note the high speed knob on the handle. it is not a quick release vice so to compesate i made this.
last picture ====to try to maintain the integrety of the pine top i used nylon washers on the screws place in the center of a 1’’ slot
on the angle iron that is fastened to the leg assembly

For something you just “threw together” I’d say it turned out quite well.

Nicely done. I like the live edge back apron. Looks to be some fine joinery as well.

I know this is a two-year old project, but…
I’ve been looking for ideas for a rolling work station and came across yours and I like it. However, there is a lot more going on here that your pictures do not explain. Specifically, the rolling vise. You just gotta show me more about how this works and why you did it.
I like the idea of vise that detaches easily, but I am unable to figure out where the vise goes on your bench.
I may not understand what your did, but I’m sure it’s awesome.
My compliments.

This is amazing. I have a motorcycle lift like that base there. I am still teeter-tautering on the idea of adding a top to it for an assembly bench. It would be gr8 for small to large projects and be adjustable to height. One downside is because of the bracing and lifting action, there is not any room for any cabinets/storage underneath.
