Joinery Workbench for Small Workshops, Carving and DovetailsThe Hand Tool School

This Compact Workbench Could be Dubbed

"The Apartment Workbench"

Perfect for the small wood shop, this bench is compact yet stable. It can be knocked down for easy transport in the car or just outside on that sunny day. Build this great bench to act as a second bench specific for detailed joinery work or carving, or as an excellent solution for the apartment dwelling woodworking. The higher top reduces strain on your back and increases accuracy across so many tasks by bringing it closer. The front vise is a beast capable of holding full sized panels or tiny strips of moulding. Once you add a planing beam (discussed in the last video) you have a workbench suited for lower hand planing and milling activities in addition to the higher joinery, carving, and layout activities. Included in this purchase is more than 4 hours of video, the SketchUp model, and a comprehensive magazine style Process Document for this project to guide you step by step. Plus you gain lifetime access to The Hand Tool School tool library and online community forum for ongoing support and camaraderie.
