Brendon_t Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I dig it man. I've thought a few times about making a hand tool cabinet but I come back to the fact that I like to see where things are and be able to grab them right where I work. I suppose a cabinet does have its merits, like you said, dust stays of your crap but for me, the wall it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Well, the new bench is in the shop..

TerryMcK Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Nice to have so much wall space. Looking forward to seeing the bench in situ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I hugged the wife and kids first but, that was more of a bribe to get them in the truck to help me with the heavy lifting.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ..Kev Posted April 27, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Here's the bench.. To keep it honest, I can't take credit for the build. A good friend of mine built it in exchange for most of the hand-me-down tools that have left my shop and been replaced. It is built to my specs and I supplied all the lumber and hardware but, he did the work. The top is 100% a roubo. From there, it's per my design. Overall, I'm super happy! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I will repeat what i said in the email, it looks amazing !! It's going to be such an awesome improvement to your work flow. Not only the awesome bench but having the tools more accessible is great. Sweet setup bud !! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Nive layout, and sweet bench. What's your plan for working long stock with no deadman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 That bench is awesome. Time to mark it up with some woodworking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ross.. Still thinking of adding the deadman. I have the lip for it cut in the underside of the top. I'd just need to add the bottom rail and the deadman to have it. It could be added fairly quickly. At this point tho, since I'm mostly a power tool guy, I'm wondering if I need it. Figured I'd run without it and see if I miss it.

I am just curious about the drawers ... on rails? anything special built inside them for help with storage? Pretty standard drawers right now on full extension glides.. Once I figure out exactly what and how things live in those drawers, I may do something inside them to keep them organized.. I'll snap a picture of them in a bit so you can see what I have now..

Chet Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 That's a nice looking beast. Should serve you well. What woods were used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top is all maple with a walnut tray in the middle. The chop is walnut and maple. The base is all Hemlock. The drawers are BB ply trimmed out with maple and walnut drawer fronts. The pulls were built by me to match all the other pulls in my shop - I may remake these in maple as time allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 That bench is a beast. I bet it weighs what two Roubos weigh. I'm a little surprised Orgo Man doesn't have his tools tucked neatly in a custom cabinet, but Orgo Man works in mysterious ways. Definitely an efficient space, and that's all that matters! Mostly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks Eric! It is a beast! I had the cabinet and it just wasn't working for me. Seemed to chew up more space than it saved so, was time for a change. Still organized tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
