Smashedfinger Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 This is my temporary bench. Cluttered with the latest project, hand planes and other stuff. I plan on building a Scandinavian style bench in the near future. What’s your bench look like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin-IT Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 You have quite a MacGyver wise. Are these hydraulic lifts ? Your bench looks like mine, without the gardening tools left on it. The main drawback of such a bench, is the lack of clamping on it. My top is just a single sheet of plywood, it is not strong enough to put holddown thru it.
