What's on your work bench? This is the official topic for images and friendly chatter regarding that all important surface, the personal statement of your shop, the steadfast friend we can always count on, the space of your shop that nobody knows better than you, we are talking about the almighty "Work Bench". Submit your images now! That's right, don't clean it up, don't be embarrassed, the messier the better, or if there is nothing on it at all, that is fine too. If you have not touched your bench in years, and you have taken a break from woodworking and have boxes piled on it, we want that image too! All images are welcome. Spirit of Topic This is a Hit-n-Run topic, as you walk past your bench, whip out your camera or smart phone, and snap a shot, load it up here. No need for text explanations if you don't want too. To kick this off, walk out in your shop and snap a picture of your bench surface now, and lets get this topic rolling. This will be an ongoing topic, for you to share images of your bench top today, and every day. Types of benches Some of us have small benches, some of us have big benches, some of us use a space in our dining room, some may have a picnic table they use for a bench, and some of us may have a bench of all benches, the traditional joiners bench, or a beautiful full cabinet shakers bench. No matter what you call your work surface, no matter what your work surface looks like, we want to see images of your bench! Thank you in advance to the participants!

Not sure if this is the right forum, but seemed to fit, so... I'm not sure exactly what terms to search for or what is out there. Or, if there is some super simple way of DIY. What I'm looking for, and trying to price (cheap would be good!) is a small mobile work bench type thing. Something that is small, I can put on my fold out table outside and put away when I'm done. Foldable would be even better. I would want to use it for clamping things down while sawing, cutting, drilling, Dremel work, etc. I can't picture what that would look like in my head because other than some c-clamps not sure what else I might need or use it for. Hopefully, I e explained it well enough. Any advice of what to get, or terms to search, etc? Thanks

I was perusing FB Marketplace and found this lil gem. The description reads "Workbench made by aviation engineer". I'm going to give this bench all the respect it deserves, it's a wonderful DIY example of what appears to be from my experience seeing many shop items like this from mid century modern era, a bench made by a home shop man from the 1950's to the 1970's I think. It's a collapsible bench, he/she obviously made it to travel or more likely to fold up and out of the way while not in use. The fact it was made by an aviation engineer is kind of fun, if that is true you can see some thought and invention put into this bench. they had a lot of fun planning and executing the build I can tell, much pride was taken. The only thing is, where the wheels fall off on the project, (actually where the wheels should fall off ) is that it has wheels! I found that interesting, as we know wheels on a bench unless collapsible don't lend well to stability, especially if you intend to do any hand tool work on the bench. Someone could have added the wheels as an afterthought too. And, there is always the possibility he was doing some specialty work on this bench that would not require the kind of stability we'd expect for a hand tool bench, who knows? I know folks can pick the bench apart, but I'd like to focus on the fun the guy must of had planning and executing his pride and joy. I bet he had some ARN Delta and Walker Turner in his shop too . By the way, the seller is asking 700 OBO. Really, if I had 700 to burn I would scoop it up, I could easily make it part of my shop environment with a couple modifications. What a fun piece!

I stumbled across this fellow and love what he does for DIY shop implements. I thought I'd post it here to give some folks inspiration, this fellow is brilliant in his planing. Have fun! Also, you can go to his YouTube channel and see how he builds this masterpiece, and many of his other jigs and holders and home made this and that. Here is his channel: Paoson Woodworking, he is a luthier like our own @Woodman. One thing I noticed about Woodman and other luthier's is they are very meticulous and clean with their work, and it makes sense, to build intricate pieces like violins and such, requires a meticulous mindset and surroundings. Also, here is Paoson's website, looks like he'll sell you the plans for the masterpiece work station. He also has quite a few freebies too!
