  1. Hand Forged Hold Fast

    I know this isn't made out of wood, but since its made for holding wood and there isn't an ironjocks website I thought I'd post it here. Plus I thought plenty of woodworkers wood get a kick out of it. This is a hand forged Holdfast, made from 5/8's inch round stock. It works fantastically, and...

  2. English Style Workbench - The Nicholson

    This is an English Style Workbench I just completed. I followed the plans in Christopher Schwarz's book Workbenches from Design & Theory to Construction & Use. I made a website which shows the construction steps I went through while building the bench. Just follow the link here: . My English...

  3. My Easter Gift To Everyone

    A while ago I promised I'd give everybody an Easter Present so here you go everyone, Happy Easter. That one big black one is for Dick Cain, Happy Easter Dick. This took me about 2 weeks to complete all these eggs. Most are naturally colored with some poly wipe on them. I got a bunch of exotic...

    I try to maintain a professional attitude but have to admit to the occasion giggle with this in my workroom. This started as a way to use a bench top, temporarily. I had a large piece of 8/4 Beech that I had milled up by hand, that was going to be used to make a medieval period workbench. I...

  5. Moravian Workbench

    Hi All, I have a small workshop that is slightly larger than the size of a one car garage. I was looking to build a workbench that I could move around easily if needed, but I also wanted it to be sturdy. The Roubo style workbench I had before, which was a Craigslist buy, wobbled on my uneven...

  6. Twin Screw Bench Vise

    This is an idea originally put up by Chris Schwarz (editor for popular woodworking magazine) on his blog. It's a take on the twin screw vise based on several books from the 1800's. The idea of being able to put a twin screw vise onto my bench when I need it and get it out of my way when I don't...

  8. Keepsake Boxes

    Two of the five keepsake boxes I made for Christmas this year. Inspired by the Wood Whisperer project: http://thewoodwhisperer.com/oh-for-keepsake/. They were a fun project and a good use of cutoffs from previous projects. One has a walnut base, curly maple lid, and cherry accent pieces. The...

  9. Roubo workbench

    here are some pics of the roubo bench I built. I made it out 2×6. Added some dog holes and hold fast holes. The holdfast are the gramercy ones. Let me know what you guys think good or bad. I did take some short cuts on some of the joinery. But if ask questions and comments. Thanks for checking...

  10. Joinery Bench

    I needed a bench that could travel, but would still be useful every day in my shop. Thank God I read a blog post that spoke about a bench built by a man named Tim Williams and his version of a joinery bench. Mine is not quite as sexy as his, but it will get the job done and isn't that all you...

  11. 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...

    My bench is straight out of Norm Abram's first book. I built it about 20 years ago. While I can't complain about the longevity of the bench… I am thinking it is time for a change. The bench is something like 30" wide including a tool tray. First, do you actually like tool trays? To me it...

    As you have all probably noticed…dust collection is one of the MOST frequent topics around here. That suggests to me that the whole topic simply hasn't been solved yet…or perhaps to put it another way, the "everybody knows" solution maybe works well enough (if you can afford it), but has...

    Saw this on Youtube: Cam Lever Clamps. Looks like something that would find just as much use on a workbench as on a CNC router.

    Could someone tell me the length - from the top of the bench to the end - of a Gramercy holdfast, please? I'm in the planning stages of a new bench, and I want to add a cabinet underneath, but I need to know how much clearance I need so the top of the cabinet doesn't interfere with the...

    So I've done a quick google search and only managed to find a single retailer in Australia that sells holdfasts and sadly have to admit they looked pretty poorly made. I don't really need them urgently but does anyone know of a place I can get them? Or possibly an affordable import that...

    How many holdfasts should one have for your workbench? Can you get by with 2, or should one have 3 or 4 or more?

    Finding the lumber Well I started the first step in building the Holtzapffel workbench. I went out last weekend and picked up some Douglas Fir for the bench and started to mill it up. I choose Douglas Fir for a couple reasons. First it was pretty cheap, I only spent about $150 on the lumber...
