Work Bench Detail
-
My workbench isn't near as fancy. For the top I just glued two solid wood doors together, for the legs 3 lengths of 2x6 glued together. Pretty solid. And heavy!
-
Whatever works. I want to build a new bench for my shop and I so I've been thinking about features I want. Every time I think I've figure it out, though, I get another bench plan to draw. It makes me go back to the drawing board so to speak.

Hey Dave- Speaking of workbenches- do you follow Chris Schwartz's blog? he's written quite a bit about benches...

Hi Michael, I read it once in awhile when I think of it. I know he has done a lot of stuff on benches. My main goal is to get my shop rearranged so I have room to build another boat. For that I really need a rather long bench. It doesn't need to be that deep, though. I've been thinking on modifications to the various benches for which I've had the pleasure of drawing up plans. I'll probably wind up with a bench that has several deadmen, face vises near both ends and no tail or end vise. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to squeeze a 16 foot boat into my shop along with everything else that's in there. No room to expand the shop, either.

I like the style. But can't wait to see the boat!
I tried the clay render / lines style on a house image this week. My client saw the original SU image and preferred that
-
Peter, there's no accounting for some people's taste.
Don't hold your breath on the boat. It might be a little while.

I can't quite put my finger on why I like it. It's extremely well done style and detail.
For me, it might be the way it reminds me of really good anime'.
Anyway, good job.
