  1. Roubo Workbench with a German Flair

    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...
  2. End Vise

    Built this vise primarily to hold irregular shaped items, and items with non-parallel sides. The fret filing and the small bit of chisel work on the banjo went quicker and easier with this setup. Vise is made from hem fir with "ultra-suede" jaw faces provided by my wife from her fabric...
  3. My ultimate workbench, about half done

    Well guys and gals, My bench is in working condition and has been essentially finished. I say it's still only half done because I will be adding a full set of tool drawers underneath it and I need to add a few more finishing touches. The end vise needs the cover, there will be a couple 2011...
  4. "Tigger" Clock

    I made one like this to go on the wall a few years ago. That one was Padauk and Walnut. That was when I didn't know that Padauk turns red over time! :) So, Tigger was blushing, heehee :) This one sits on a surface, and is Oak, Walnut, and Cherry 1st Place Midwest Scroll Saw Tradeshow, 2012 1st...

    Made these for a lady who said she was a collector, she loves them. Made to resemble Shaker tables
  7. FISH BONKER (THE PRIEST )

    This is a fisherman's tool and I always had one with me when fishing but it got lost so today I carved another one . Made from a piece of unknown wood and I got to use a couple new Japanese rasps which cut so nice and smooth kind of like a hand plane .It's also nice to have several vises on...
  8. Bench

    Had to add this to my projects (sorry for those of you that have seen this already). I started this bench in 2008 and finished adding the end vise in 2012. This bench only cost around $300 in materials to build, wood is pine throughout. The only parts that aren't pine are the front vise and...

  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hello, I am just finishing up my work bench, a 21st century workbench inspired by Bob Lang, and I need to know what vise I should use. I am on a budget, but do not want to get cheep crappy brands that will break. I have been looking at the VERITAS Twin screw vise as the plans call for, but am...
  11. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I thought I would get opinions on an idea for a cheap end wagon vise for the Roubo workbench I intend to build. My idea is as follows: - Use an inexpensive ($25US) Rockler 9" Press Vise for the screw-my thinking is that this screw doesn't need to be very powerful or very long - Screw would move...

    Design After reading Christopher Schwarz's excellent "Workbenches" book, I was inspired to build a bench. I am a novice woodworker with only a couple of big projects under my belt: a mobile clamp cabinet and a 4' x 4' outfeed table. I used a workmate for those projects and am completely...

    Top&Legs Jointed, Starting to layout the Wooden Screws. A while black I posed a forum topic asking for folks advise on how to use this piece of wood for a workbench. A cabinet maker I bought my band saw from gave it to me for free. It was made from two slabs from a green oak tree so it...

    initial thoughts Decided to make a workbench for my father for a belated Christmas and birthday gift. (Working on it in the evenings after my brain is fried from writing). The space he has available is small, so I am going to scale it down to be roughly 20" x 60" or a bit longer. Based off of a...

    A good start Being the self-educated woodworker that I am, I would like to discuss the tool I feel has become the most important tool in my collection and that is my workbench. It is a great place to start when developing a shop of your own. I know there are many who will disagree. In fact...

    Workbench top (Quite a few pics with this blog) I guess I am a cheap and a glutton for punishment. Off cuts of poplar, red grandis, and a tiny bit of maple from a local cabinet shop. Plus some white and red oak scraps i had on hand. After jointing, planing, ripping and squaring the ends...

    Quit thinking and relocate your donkey! Okay, I've been determined to do a blog series on some project but they've all gotten away without being documented. But, I'm gonna document this build because I've been planning it for so long that it deserves some posterity! This won't be a quick...
