I’m looking to up my hand tool game, in particular hand cut dovetails. I have a corner in my shop by a big window that I think would be pleasant space to put a small bench with vise to work on. I don’t have room for a full blown bench and I’m thinking 12-18 inches deep and maybe 30-36 inches long.
So my question are- What depth would be too narrow? Would a 12 inch wide bench be wobbly when sawing? Any real world experience that you could share?
I have a pretty solid design and will be using SYP (ala Mr. Schwartz) and would love some real world input on workbench sizing for this purpose.
thanks,
