Great looking bench.
As far as a finish for it; Ship it to me I’ll apply the finish for you!!! Lol.

Clever Eddie mate. Very cool!

Hey Ed! Nice, nice job. Looks like in the picts it really worked out as a build for you. I still love mine. I’m glad you had the room to make the full length one. I’m making screen doors lately and I’ve wished I had an extra foot of bench.

Oh and thanks for the mention of my build. Means a lot. Enjoy!

Lots of clamping options, the whole point of a stable workbench. Nice to see non-traditional approach.
LOVE the tiled floor, BTW.

Neat workbench, cool design

thanks guys,

Dan ,good luck on those doors they look good so far what you have posted.

ChrisMc45 : love all the clamping of this bench,on the tile floor that’s probable going to come out as soon as i can get to it they are ceramic and saw dust get on it and it get slippy as a dance floor. been praying and working and getting martial together for a shop for a year r so but my last of five kids left the nest joined the navy and one nite it just dawned on me i got a shop already.took in the master bed room and converted it in to a shop its a big room ,my neighbors wife said i was crazy ,he liked the idea thou.but its like i told her my wife went to get some cheese burger 7 r 8 years ago and i don’t think she will be back :>).and i don’t need all this room now . that’s why there is still tile on the floor and got to get the rest of the wall paper down too thanks

Hey Eddie, that’s a nice size bench with great features. Glad it looks like a working tool and not like something out of a new car showroom.
Nice job and great usage of alternative components …...way to go.

Eddie!

You and Dan have really done GREAT jobs of building the New Fangled Workbench!

I like your Base better than the original.

I’ll have to think about that Side wedge modification.

This will be the next bench I make! No question about it.
I was going to make mine 5’ long so it can fit where I want to use it better… possibly a bedroom… not much room in the garage… still thinking about it.

Ever since I saw John White’s video on it, I just fell in love with it… It’s so down to earth… Functional!

Thank you for bringing my attention to it!

Nice COOL work! Especially the Base… has more room for storage, etc. LOL

nice build, im sure you’ll get good use of it. I really like the design of this bench – and Dan’s work is really helpful. Hope to build a version of it some day.

It looks like your version is pretty close to the original one – can you comment on how it stands up to handtool work, especially serious planing? ;-)

thanks AaronK im fairly new to this craft ,but hand planing and hand tool was the reason for this bench if you could find the video of john white using it that would show its use with hand planing. i looked for it but the magazine didn’t show it its been a few years ago when it was published.i had concerns of it not being stable but it is very strong and stable i hand planed a little on it to try out the vices and my old planes are not sharp and it held is and didn’t move i think it will hold up to some serious planing but to be on the safe side you may want to ask some of the other LJs that have build this one and have been using it a few years.i think Dan built his a few years ago thanks for the comment
