Then, there is the Dungeon Workbench..

.99420791_Computerdesktopcleanedbench.JPG.d3236cac55116b030221092e79a4266b.JPG

5' long, when the end vise is closed.   Since 90% of the work is on this end of the vise, leg vise is also down here.  There is a Crochet at the far end, to hold LONG pieces for jointing.  Apron is a 5/4 x 5" that I can c clamp items to....Cabinet and shelf are options....Yes, there is a tool well....comes in handy, to keep items from bouncing off the side of the bench, or chisels from rolling away.  Chisel rack across the back of the bench, as I don't have the room in the shop to work from both sides of the bench...

YMMV...

    Been using this one, at the moment.... yes, it helped to cut that 4 x 4 laying on the ground behind it...then fold it up, and carry back into the house, when done for the day..

  • I am not much for a type of workbench.  Mostly I see them as  Horizontal Chaos Storage Area.

    I guess that could be a type of workbench.

I think it took me two years to decide what I wanted and then to design and acquire the white oak to build this one and I cannot even pick up one end . I do not know but would guess it weighs in over 300. Plan is a amalgam of Wood, Family Handyman and Popular Mechanics benches and the some of my own design to pull it all together. Top is 3 layers 3/4 MDF trimmed in white oak and 1/4 Masonite top cover.

Nice work. I can't have that I would have to hide all the hammers...

@Gerald,

Nice workbench! :TwoThumbsUp:How big is that?

I need to make a couple of benches, well actually machine stands that I can roll.

They need to be able to go over the wheel wells in my trailer shop when in the storage position.

And my recently completed Monster Work and Assembly table.  48"x96"x38"  Complete with 19 drawers (repurposed from wine display cabinet at a closed up Sam's Club -- sorry, no Systainers ;)) and Emmert Patternmaker's Vise.   Tape labels on drawers are until I decide on a final layout.   From right to left on drawers -- routers & bits, drills and bits, sanders, planes, chisels, glue, F-clamps, Zyliss vise.  Heavy hardware (screws, nuts & bolts) across the bottom.   I lucked out, the HF storage boxes that I've used for hardware fit perfectly in the drawers.  Me like.

You are trying to make us look bad!!!  I don't see a speck of sawdust.  Now how did that happen.

 

Never mind, fire the maid that you have doing it post haste.

 

Or we may have to rethink your membership in the Brotherhood of Sawdust....

 

:throbbinghead:

Have no idea what type or style of bench this is, but hey it works.  :)
