    Question re Planing stop setup

    Amateur woodworker here building my first workbench. I’m following the anarchist workbench book/plan given how prescriptive it is (helpful for a first timer). However, for someone that has been planing board faces only occasionally its not obvious a 2 1/2” x 2 1/2” square hole in the bench for...

    Workbench

    Asking $325 Dimensions: 6'8" long x 32" wide x 3 feet tall. I carved all of my Bellamy eagles on this bench. It's heavy and super solid. I added removable sandbags that make it essentially unmovable. Nice drawers with sliding partitions and lots of storage space. Vise not included. It's an...

    Workbench top help

    Hey folks, I'm looking for any suggestions for affordable tops for 6 workbenches I am planning for my new woodworking school. Ideally, I'd like 8'x 2'+ widths. Butcher block would be nice and I can build up the thickness with hardwood ply layers and then edge with oak. I just watched Chris...

    Workbench build with Roubo Straighteners

    Hi all, Just checked around the web to see if anyone has used this method of laminating and face joining a workbench top. The Roubo straightener I am referring to is shown on my blog here: http://oldetoolworkshop.com/2017/12/19/roubo-to-the-rescue/ Has anyone out there used this method or...

    My new workbench top is done (for now)

    I added my twin screw vise last weekend and drilled the dog holes this weekend. I'll actually get to use it next weekend. I am so excited I can't hardly stand it. I must admit that I measured at least 6 times before I drilled my first dog hole for fear of wrecking something I had worked on so...

    For beginners wondering about a bench...

    I don't think this has been posted... yet. I am a fan of Shannon Rogers - and like the Christopher Schwarz and Paul Sellers bench builds - I think this is another that deserves applause! http://www.renaissancewoodworker.com/beginner-workbench/

    Looking for Someone To Make Me A Benchcrafted Roubo

    I have drastically downsized my shop recently and am moving to an all hand tool setup. I would really like a Benchcrafted Roubo with all of the bells and whistles. I also would like the full benchtop moxon vise that they have on their website. The problem is I no longer have the machinery to...

    work bench/table and holdfasts

    Hi, I am just setting up my shop now that I have the room to do it. First thing I did was make 2 work benches/tables to give some flat surface area and additional storage. They are both the same 2'x4', 2x4 construction with a "top" and a bottom shelf. I just finished cross bracing and...

    The Deltona Workbench

    Hello everyone! It's been over a year and a half since I've posted anything on the forum - biggest reason is that we moved from the Oregon to Deltona, Florida last year - much closer to North Carolina! First order of business was to setup my workshop in our small 2-car garage. Part of this...

    Here we go again - round dog holes or square

    So, you have decided to build that workbench - finally... You have your design picked out and there is one last thing - the dog holes... In building up the top you can choose to leave the top board "open" and create square dog holes or put it all together and drill them... WHAT DO YOU DO...

    Nicholson Bench

    Finally finished ( well almost ) a Nicholson Bench. This is my first real bench. Learned quite a bit about hand tools. Flattening the top taught me to let the hand plane do the work you just need to move it in the right direction. Its interesting moving more towards hand tools. At first I...

    Workbench tool cabinet - rear shelves

    These shelves are on the rear of the bench, behind the planing beam. The planes I use most frequently on that side of the bench are kept close at hand.
