So I was playing around on youtube and came across this video of an awsome workbench, one big problem though, it is not in english. I would love to see some plans and maybe a link or something on where i could purchase the hardware featured in this video. Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks

the video says instructions for building the bench can be found in episode/lesson 37 and 38. holzwerken.net has an email address on the front page, you might try emailing them. awesome bench...

Not sure what pieces you were looking at but most of it is Veritas, Festool and Incra. The bench looks custom to fit all the specific products.

Thanks, I was able to find the Veritas twin screw vice with your help, but do you or anybody know by chance where to get the bracket that holds the festool track so it can be tipped out of the way but held square when in use?

Thanks again for your help

That bench may or may not be awesome... Depending on the work habits of the potential user.

What are the plans as to what would be done on it?

Well the bench isn't for me its for my brother in law and he doesn't have a lot of room. He told me he wanted a bench that had everything on it so he could roll it out of his garage and work outside with it. saw this and thought it would be perfect. I can design the bench myselft, was just looking for the hardware for the vise and the festool track bracket and such.

The bracket for the Festool track would be custom, just like the rest of the adjustable stops on that side of the bench. More than likely it is a piano hinge bolted to the track and screwed to the bracket. All you need now is to find the 2 episodes and a translator. ;-)

So I take it that festool does not sell their bracket that is on the MFT for the track. It seems like it would be pretty easy to make one but I figured festool would sell it separate. guess they want you to buy the hole table not just parts.

I read, write and speak German if you need translation services. It's one of my skills that often goes unused here in the states. What specifically do you need?

If your brother-in-law is a power tool woodworker it will probably be perfect. I am in the middle of building my Roubo bench (with a couple alterations) and have spent a lot of time the last few years dwelling on how I want it, does he know what he wants, I ask just because I think the bench is the most personal bench in the shop.
