New workbench!

Jesse.beckham · Jan 18, 2015

Finally got around to building an actual workbench, no more plastic folding table! No wobble from this sturdy bench. Probably won't ever look this good again after I cover it with the tools and all. New

Side note. The two holes are driller for my vice bracket I also made. Will post pictures of it after the finish coat sits 24 hours and everything can go onto the bench.

Hi, nice bench. Now to assemble the proper amount of clutter. Have fun! Looks like a fair start in your tool box.

Oh the clutter! I give it three days! The image of my old workspace was pretty cleaned up, or else I'd have never taken a picture of it.

Jesse, you did a beautiful job on the bench. I built a bench similar to yours for, 4 of my shotgun reloaders. I put wood between the 4 by 4 legs to keep them from warping. You should do that too. There called stretchers. As those 4 by 4's dry they will go where they want. I'm thinking you will end up with a drill press for you vise. So you really don't need the cut out on the top.

Haha! I can't imagine using those Moore Maker fencing pliers for chasing hammers. I'll stick with my Lindsey. I'm a dealer for Moore Maker, so I've got their tools and knives slung out all over the place.

I will certainly add the stretchers, I just ran out of lumber. Easy add on next weekend when I've freed up some more time. Thanks!

Thanks monk, but I think I've got plenty of junk and clutter to keep be busy for a while... I'll keep the offer in mind though.

New workbench!
