Workbench
-
Nice work, Luca. I like the display style too. Did you make that style?
I'm curious about the dovetail on the end. It seems like it ought to be a mirror of the one on the other side of the bench.
-
Yes Dave, I did the style: 1 pixel straight line, 3pt extension and texture (beech and walnut). I show you a photo regarding the dovetail joints. As you can see the back board is thinner than the front one.
-
I just finished drawing the workbench and these are two photos. I hope you like it.

Very nice work there, my friend.
Is the drawer front on the right to be fixed in place or will it be hinged to open? I gather the hole in the side of the case is to provide clearance for the vise.
-
Thank you Dave! You're right about the hole, it's for the vise. The little drawer is actually a false one, so it's a piece of plywood laminated with walnut. The other two drawers and the frames of the doors are made of beech. The carcase is made of plywood jointed with biscuits.
-
Nice drawings. I like the style.
You could hinge that panel so it folds down and then use that space for storing things you'll never find again.
-
That's a good suggestion but I have the constraint to do the exact copy of the original. Anyway I'll report your idea.
-
I know you have to draw it as built.
Is it Giacomo who built it?
-
Yes, it's Giacomo who built it. This part is coming with the may issue.
-
That's great. Please pass on to him that I like his bench very much.
Ciao!
Dave
