As I got such nice reactions to a my previous post of my new bench I could not resist to post a few more. Pictures of the bench you would not normally see. I made a full picture history of the construction - over 100 photo's. Here are just a few...
The original bench did not have the tail vise. After reading the 'The Workbench Book' I liked 'The Modern Hybrid' made by Michael Fortune so much I decided to adapt my old bench with some of his idea's.
It took a lot of calculating and searching to get the construction right. The original bench was all Beech, the top was one big slabb. Time warpt it beyond repair. It had a drawer. And the bottom was glued together, mine is take-appart.
