The Best Workbench for Woodcarving

[@claybowser698]

I have this workbench. I also have the cast iron legs. I like them both and I use it alot. I even use it as a drafting table when drawing. I made a larger flat top that attaches on top of the wooden top when I am drawing and take that top off when carving. That workbench is one of my favorite tools in my shop. I wonder why Veritas quit making this great bench. I really love the big heavy spring in the center.

Great video!!!! I mostly carve small figures, so the best workbench for me is my lap. I use a table that fits over your lap to carve, it is just a cheep plywood board with a cushion under it. It works for now, but I recently inherited my grandad's old workbench, so a few layers that need to be sanded, some shortening of the legs. And TLC, and it will be an amazing addition to my shop.😁

I have a quick question. What is the purpose of the black knobs on the edges? Is this something you modified on bench top?

[@Grabovetskiy]

I drilled 1/2” holes for magnifying light and those plastic knobs are bolts going to the hole for tightening the lamp.

Hi! They do not sell the Veritas carving bench anymore. To save time, are there other good options that I can purchase (not wanting to build myself) Thank you!

[@pafnir]

yeah ... I made a research - it comes out nothing like this is being sold on the market - any alternatives? That's exactly the table I need - I'm getting tired from circling around the table all the time to follow the grain of the wood ...

Great Video

Thank You!

@@Grabovetskiy You have a nice workbench. I've also thought about getting one later. The principle of the mechanism is not clear to me because there is not much information on the Internet about how the counter is moved along its axis. You have nice chisels, Petrograd. I really want to get some, but because of the sanctions, it is not possible to buy from there. I wish you happy holidays!

Thanks for the information excellent video👍👍🙂🙂

I have enjoyed your video and would like to purchase the swivel/tilt base under the bench. I have looked on the Lee valley site and couldn’t find it. Could you share the manufacturer of the swivel base

[@Grabovetskiy]

Look for the used one on eBay
