Medium Sjoberg joiner's bench. Two-inch thick hardwood top (it's either maple or beech - not sure which). Incorporates both a tail vise and a leg vise with swivel clamping foot. Five 10.5" x 10.5" drawers and a generous cabinet 10.5" deep x 18.5"high and 18.5" wide. Cabinet door is backed with pegboard for convenient tool storage. Overall dimensions 30" high (so you can get good downward pressure for planing) x 55" long x 17.5" deep, including a chip/tool trough with a ramped end for easy cleanout. The leg vise sticks out a few inches in the front and the tail vice projects a few inches at the right end. I've just reglued a couple of loose drawer corners, waxed the wooden vise screws and given the top a light cleanup sanding. Tops shows some tools marks and a few stains and only one popup bench dog is included. This bench has seen a lot of use but remains rock solid and has years of good use left in it.
Nothing exactly like it in the current Sjoberg catalog but you probably couldn't touch a similar bench for less than $400 new today. This one is yours for $165. I also have a solid-core door cut down for use as a sacrificial top.

Not mine, but thought I would pass it along.
