Workmate - Ron Hickman

[@randycisneros4111]

Hello Dennis Blair I'm a little commenting on your video. I own three workmates one is the cast aluminum version and the other two have are newer and old. One I found dumpster another one I bought at a yard sale and the aluminum frame I bought on offer up. The workmate is the best workbench tool ever thought of and It's made in the good old USA. Thanks for sharing the video and information

Nice. but how about the Elan plus 2?

Nice! I bought a workmate today for $20 at a garage sale. It's old and has a RP Hickman tag and it appears to have cast aluminum parts.

Very cool. Thanks for posting this. For anyone interested, there's a more in-depth article on the development of the Workmate in the back of 'The Workbench Book'. It's a neat story.

deezynar Thanks, I think that's where I first heard about him. He reminds me of my Father-in-law, who chose his own path (and still does... he's blind but still golfs!).

[@deezynar]

Blind golf, now I'd love to see a video of that! Seriously! That would be interesting and fun too.
