I am a primarily hand tool woodworker - no power tools. I like basic, minimalist design with clean, straight lines and properly hand-cut joinery with no metal fasteners. I hate router roundover edges, unnecessary curves and racing stripes made out of contrasting woods. I think wagon vises are inferior to traditional tail vises and will never understand people who run a router with a chamfer bit in their workbenches' dog holes. HOWEVER... This design just blew my mind. I've watched the video three times since you posted it a few days ago and I can only say I am in awe of your skills, both in design and craftsmanship. The way the arched legs get thinner at the top of the arch is just such an elegant detail - which is hard to admit for someone who hates curves! Truly elegant design and perfect execution. I'm not about to go out and buy a pantorouter just yet, but I really want to thank you for showing this old fart some new perspective. I would be proud to work on this bench - even if it looked wildly out of place in my shop. Have you considered adding some dog holes on the front legs to help support longer boards, panels, doors, etc. to work on their edges? I have a sliding deadman on my (tradtional) Roubo workbench that gets a ton of use, but I think some well positioned dog holes along the right side of the arch would probably get you most of the functionality of a deadman - and the asymmetrically placed holes on just the right side of the arch would look sick in this design. Anyways, thanks again for the video. Truly inspiring stuff. P.S. - You made the right decision in going with the solid top. Split tops are just silly.
@SawyerDesign Жыл бұрын
I absolutely love this. Thank you for giving it a chance. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate that and thank you for the kind words. Definitely think some dog holes or perhaps a hook that works in the dog strip to support long boards is in order. I decided that should be done as needed as it’s not something I have needed to do a ton and I didn’t want to drill the wrong hole. This comment really made me smile. Thanks again for taking the time. Take care

I will try and source quartersawn boards as they are more stable and a lot better for making doors and windows out of so making a workbench in this manner I think is very very good.

Most woodworkers are hobbyists and have neither the skill nor the equipment to make it, but you know that.

Hi, I have made quite a few handrails in this method for staircases what becomes more difficult is there when the staircase is a helix and I had some special steel brackets made up that could be clamped to the treads so then I could inform the laminations around the steel brackets and pull it down to the tread height which would then obviously create the helix that you needed, Like you I have always worked by myself though I have occasionally had somebody to come in and give me a hand when lifting huge logs or timber, So sometimes I would spend hours drawing and working out how to make something but how to assemble it to make it easier for me working by myself I had a very large workshop especially as I was working by myself. My building was a old grain storage barn approximately 30 m long and about 8 m wide as you can imagine it cost a lot to heat in the winter months. Phil from the moulin France.
