Woodworking bench w/ Wilton Vise

looks great. I wouldn’t consider purchasing a pre-made top “unfortunate”, just leaves you with more time for other things.

That looks great, very sturdy, I hope you get many projects created for us to see using this bench.

Ray that s a very clean looking bench. enjoy it

That’s what I’d like to get building right now… I’d like a couple of them. I’m not going to say I have a shop until I have a few nice benches like this.

Very nice massive solid looking work bench!

This sturdy bench should serve you well for many years. The “store-bought” top was a good idea for you.

Look great.
I hope mine will come out as good.

A much better bench than mine! My bench has not made it off the paper yet. Great looking Jointery, thanks for letting us see the before shots.

Nice woodworking bench!

Looks great. I bet it’s really sturdy.

Have you been happy with the Wilton vise. I’m looking at the 7” no. 144.

Thanks,

Hi Bill,
It has been a few years now and the vice has worked perfectly. I use it on every project. If you look at the wood attached to the vice it has bench dogs on the active side giving me lots of clamping possibilities. Along with 2 holdfast on the bench top nothing moves when sanding, chiseling, cutting, etc.
