Project Information
Hi Lumberjocks,
Here's my workbench.
It is 1700mm ( 67 inches long), 950mm (37 inches high) .
I don't know how much it weighs but i believe it to be sufficiently heavy.
It is dead flat, extremely stiff and has is exactly what i wanted ,in term of size and vises.
The design is based on scandinavian workbenches. AND yes it is entirely made out of laminated birch plywood.
I am not equipped to deal with large sections of lumber and have didn't want to have to worry about seasonal changes. I know that i must violated a bunch of workbench making rules but i must say that i am happy with the result. Also the price of the plywood vs quality hardwood made this project possible on a limited budget.
Special thanks to Frank Klausz, Rob Cosman and Carter Whitting for the inspiration, sharing the knowledge, tricks , how to's etc….
I hope you like it
Alex
