March 15, 20179 yr PopWood just posted a compendium of articles on workbenches over the last couple of decades. If you are thinking of building one, worth checking. http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/popular-workbench-magazine?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pww-mfj-fb-170415 Also, the Cincinnati Wooddworking Club is having Chris Schwarz come speak at our November meeting. Topic to be determine, but may be benches. You are all welcome to attend. Second Saturday morning in November.
March 15, 20179 yr Right up my alley, been humming and hawing over a bench the past year. Thanks for the link!

March 15, 20179 yr Very nice Thanks for sharing. A bench is in my sights later this year Edited March 15, 20179 yr by Chips N Dust
March 15, 20179 yr Author I made a Tage Frid plan bench very early after I started to get serious in woodworking. About the same time, Frank Klausz wrote an article in FWW, so I adopted some of his, too. It's similar to the last one in the list. Fortunately, I have these issues, so I can look any of them up if needed. Bob Flexner wrote an article when the Frid bench came up in the magazine. http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/traditional-danish-workbench In the meantime, I picked up an Emmert patternmaker's vice. It's looking for a home so it doesn't become a boat anchor.. On my to-do list is to make a bench, mostly used for hand power tools (drill, router, sander) and assembly. And for the Emmert.
