This is my version of a HiVise accessory vise for my bench. The vice is easily portable and moved from surface to surface using the accessory mounting screw. Hardware and plans from Benchcrafted. Shout out to Caleb James (@calebjamesmaker) for his ShaperHub project that made building this a...

This is my split top Roubo, that I made this winter. Wood species: Maple, Walnut and Samanea. Hardware: Benchcrafted. Finish: BLO, mineral spirits and spar varnish. (equal parts) Construction: Drawbored M&T mostly. You can check out more about this bench and it's construction methods at...

I know these are simple Frames, but the proud papa had to post these Roman style Walnut Frames, showcasing my Daughter's achievements. She finally finished school, now has to get a job. That part will probably hurt her the most. LOL

One of my Christmas presents this year was a BenchCrafted Moxon Vise hardware kit. I've been travelling quite a bit for work so I just finished putting it all together - but man I love this thing. I used Hard Maple with mahogany accents. The basic design is similar to the base plans that come...

This is my Benchcrafted-inspired split-top Roubo workbench. Eight feet long, 29" wide, 35" tall, and weighs about 300 pounds. Includes a leg vise, tail vise, and sliding deadman, and was built over six months. Primarily constructed of Burrill fir 2×4s from Home Depot, but also birch, white oak...

I posted this on the workbench smack down thread. If you are thinking about building a bench, then this thread is a must visit, revisit, and visit again. If anyone is ever building the "Classic Workbench" from the Benchcrafted plans, I would be happy to offer advice (take it for what its...

A one weekend project! I'd been sitting on the Benchcrafted vise kit since I built the Roubo bench - was just waiting for the right piece of walnut to come my way.

I completed this build in August of 2018. I bought the Benchcrafted hardware for this moxon vise around the same time I bought the leg vise hardware (2yrs ago). At the time I bought the wood and began working on the chops. Fast forward 2yrs, the chops were still sitting under my assembly...

Hi all! I have now been using this bench for about 6 months and I love it (Credit: Wood Whisperer Guild for instruction and design although I did part from it in some places). It took me two months of weekends (and some weeknights) to finish it. I then went to work designing the tool chest...

Yes….another split top roubo…. I just completed my lifetime workbench. I have worked on this off and on for several months - probably close to a year. I really have no idea how long it has actually taken me. I used power tools as much as possible. However, I don't own a power jointer or...

Thank you Luis, because if it hadn't been for your recent project http://lumberjocks.com/projects/390249 my Moxon hardware would still be sitting under a pile of finish and stain containers, perhaps never to be completed. Fortunately, I had some hard maple left over from my Roubo workbench...

Hi, this is my first post and I thought I would share my PurpleHeart and Maple workbench I built. It's been a long tough project working with that much PurpleHeart, I wanted to build it using almost hand tools besides using my planer to flatten one side post hand jointing all the boards as well...

I thought I had uploaded this already but was surprised to discover I missed it. With so much talk about workbenches these days I figured now was a good time to post my Roubo workbench. I finished this early in 2010 and have built several pieces on it since then. I am thrilled with this...

After nearly a year since starting the project, my Roubo workbench is finally complete. Lots of thanks to all of the folks on the Workbench Smackdown thread. Like so many of the forums on LJ, everyone gives plenty of helpful suggestions, ideas, and encouragement. As with most of my larger...

I'm just getting my workshop up and running. I've recently moved out of the 1/2 car garage into 2 stalls of a 3 car garage. I haven't had a "real" workbench since I've started woodworking, and I won't be building one any time soon. I do have work holding needs though, so I decided to build the...

My favorite shop tool. 8/4 air dried maple from my Amish friends in Ohio. Benchcrafted hardware. Works beautifully and saves my back on a daily basis! The plans for the Moxon vise can be found on the Benchcrafted website for free, so if you're interested in building this vise I would suggest...

It took a while, but I finally completed this workbench. My goal when I started was to make it the only workbench I'll ever need and so, whenever a decision had to be made, I went for overkill. The bench is massive. With hardware, I estimate it to be around 500 lbs. I assembled it in pieces...

2 years into woodworking with power tools, and the router scared me into hand tools :) Routering dovetails, specifically, was the trigger. It took me 5 hours of set up and test cuts the first time I used a super fancy Leigh router jig before feeling confident enough to cut my actual project...

I finally went and did it, I built myself a proper woodworking bench. I tore apart my old plywood bench I built 17 years ago when we bought our house. It was just a quickie bench made from plywood and tubafors. It was stout and worth having but it was not for woodworking, no woodworking vises...

Coming out of the Woodworking in America conference, I was determined to improve my current bench's work holding capacity. The Moxon vise re-introduced by Benchcrafted a truly outstanding, yet simple piece of engineering. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make an easy upgrade. These...
