  1. From the album: John's Shop

    I recently inherited this beautiful workbench. The top is 4" thick, 6.5' long by 24" wide with a tool well at the rear. The top is composed of Maple and Oak billets, there are dog holes and the original owner made his own dogs out of aluminum rounds, they work very well. The end vise is large and very powerful. The cabinet is made of oak, with oak drawers and walnut pulls. I will be using the bench as my primary work surface for all I do, I cannot wait to start work on it. I purchased the hold fasts from a fellow on ebay, he hand forges them and sells them at a very reasonable price. I have already tried them and they truly do hold fast! More than likely I will remove the surface mounted vise as it will be in my way, but it is a nice vise, I'll mount it elsewhere in my shop space.
  2. I have spent some time this year reworking my shop arrangement. Started with a 60 amp service & this allowed me to move the compressor into an attached shed then hard piped it into the shop. Install a small dust system in the shed and connected my miter saw, belt/spindle sander & a port for my ROS. I passed on things to other people that could use them & got rid of things I haven't or won't need. Consolidated everything to the 3 walls in the shop. I realized during the process that walking around my work bench to get to the other side of the shop just wasn't working anymore, time to downsize & go mobile. The plan is to build a set up to house my table saw and router table in one mobile unit. I have had a good conversation with @Gunny about the do's & don'ts with regards to this set up, "Often suffer from paralysis by analysis in getting a project started" Thanks Gunny. I have the base started with some 4x4 that my Dad had stored, straight and dry. Cut some lap joints, dry fit & ready to screw and glue. Notches in the middle are for the uprights & the cuts were made, after the pics, on the end lap joints for the same.
  3. So yesterday I got to thinking to myself. Rather than half baked( ing a work bench like the two previous times. I thought I would build a decent bench for the wood lathe the way I wanted it to turn out. I spent roughly 70 dollars on materials building materials are getting quite expensive these days. How ever I spent 300 dollars less than if I were to out right buy that husky work bench. Even then it wouldn't have come out on my list. Materials used.... 2 4 x 4s cut down to 31 inches in length. 4 2x4s cut to 5 Feet in length with off cuts 1 2 foot by 4 foot 3/4 inch thick piece of ply board. I had them cut everything to length over at home depot this morning due to the simple fact I do not have a vehicle big enough to carry the full length materials. Either way that done. I started this project at noon today and just wrapped up. I dismantled the half baked bench I had put together origionally and put the new bench almost in place. I still need to run back over to home depot again and grab some bolts so I can bolt the lathe down to the bench itself. It is also sturdy enough that I could probably leave it free standing, how ever with a risk of it possibly falling over I think I will pre plan and go ahead and secure it to the wall studs in the shed. I'm interested to know what you guys think. Please be warned this thread is PHOTO HEAVY if your internet can not handle it.
  4. Since I was roughly going through my thought process. With the lathe bench finished off and end product posted in the correct forum. I thought to myself rather than having JUNK half baked work benches I thought it was in due time for a rebuild of the space where I keep my bandsaw and other items. So I picked up another bunch of material from home depot. I didn't get thick plyboard this time since it did not need to support a huge amount of weight. But it was in due time I did things right for a change. So with materials in hand a new box of screws I started working on the new bench for the bandsaw and I got enough for two benches. This one I think I will configure in an L shape for more room. Especially for doing just regular work with it. I haven't quite gotten it finished as of yet my drill ran out of battery life before I could screw down the top of the bench oh well hurry up and wait for it to charge now. But here are some shots of the work in progress.
  5. So this at the end of the morning I went out to my shed looked at my lathe bench. I decided that it was time for it TO GO. I ran over to the Home Depot Next door and picked up some 2x4x8 footers had them all cut to length. Which worked out into my bennifit. I held the shorter pieces up to my side and they are indeed a good length for my height of course once the 2x4s are drilled into place for the bed rest. So that is the plan this afternoon. At least I wont have to lift the lathe very far in order to move it once this is done. So it's turning out to be a general wood working project for the afternoon. But at least I'll be able to have a bit more space and I can get rid of that garbage bench I had put together in a rush. Note the materials costed me less than 35 dollars all together including the screws.
  6. https://blog.lostartpress.com/2020/06/22/the-anarchists-workbench-for-free-forever/ Free book for downloading. There are no plans, but if you can look at something and figure out how to build it, you are in luck for a wonderful bench that dates back into the 1500's. There are 2 other books on the table that they plan to digitize. Chris Schwartz.
  7. I lived in a small town in Millville Pa. all my life. Our big town has one four way stop sign. We at one time had two grocery stores. One closed up and one burned down. When they was hauling away what was left (not much) of the store I seen a butcher block table or what was left of it going into the trash. I stopped to ask if I could buy it and they said I could have it. It had to be over 100 years old. When I went to load it it was very hard to pick up. The wood was only nailed together with square nails and it would bend when trying to pick it up. I'm betting this was in the store since the store was built. I took it home and made a work bench out of it. I sure did not need another work bench but I had to have a piece of history from our little town. The bench takes at least four people to move it.
  8. I needed a quick workbench so I could set up for gun maintenance and reloading away from the dust of the woodshop. The wood bench with four drawers and a vice looked like it would do the job and it was $119.00 with a coupon. The first one I picked up the top was totally destroyed beyond repair. After a trip to HF for a replacement I put it together easily by not reading the instructions. About a half hour and some extra screws and glue it is surprisingly very sturdy and will fit my needs. All that is left is assemble the drawers and mount my reloading equipment. Someday I will build a better one and donate this one to Habitat. My rating: 4.5 stars for quality and assembly and -1.5 for packaging.
  9. FWIW, received notification from Kreg today about their new mobile work-center. A better mouse trap version of the B&D Workmate. It does have several interesting features and capabilities.
  10. http://ezine.woodworking.com/FinishingBasics/RefinishWorkbenchTop/index.html Tool well a catchall for junk, huh? I can understand that.
  11. I have been looking for ideas on improving my area for small projects. I came across this bench and wondered what this guy used it for. I found out, can you guess?
