Hello everyone,
New to this site, but have read every "shaker workbench" thread here and abroad. I find myself ready to build myself a Shaker style workbench (the trend of the Roubo's is tempting though). Dimensions I think I'd like to aim for: Top 26"-28" wide, 3"-4" thick, and 7'-8' long. base 24"x 5.5'-6' total height at 34" Base will be fully pull drawers with no open door spaces. Wood will be Maple with Wanut accents.
Soooooo ?? Hardware : LN Twin screw 24" between centers.
Veritas Twin 24"
Lake Erie wood single screw leg vise
Benchcrafted wheel leg vice,
Tail vise? Make my own wagon vise from a LV single screw or go with the Benchcrafted wagon?
My overall need for help is hardware choices versus my desire to make Furniture and do Cabinet work. Compared to most here Ive not been at this long since Im going on 7yrs. Until now Ive been able to make due with a cast-iron front vise and clamps. Im just tired of fighting my way through every project. It truly makes it UN FUN.
So what hardware is fundamentally the best for someone who wishes to do Furniture and Cabinet work. Or should I just give in and do a Benchcrafted Roubo?
