My handmade bench

Hi all,
I just completed my workbench.
I made it with hand tools. I hope you like it. :roll:

Ciao,
Giuliano

Wow, are you sure it's a work bench? It looks too good it should be in your living room. =D> =D> =D>

Very nice workbench!

The design is very much the same as I'm going to build (if I find the time, I'm still stuck at the wood drying stage). ONly you have much more drawers (I very much like your drawer fronts) and the type of vice.

Very nice, Giuliano 8)

Very nice, beautifully made. It's also interesting to see the contrast in styles between a UK bench and yours, whilst the functions are pretty much the same yours instantly has a more Mediterranean look - more darker woods and decorative embellishments than your average English beech bench

Much too smart to work on!!! Put it in the house, then make a rough and ready thing for the workshop!!

Very nice, a pitty to use it

What is the cupboard on the side used for??

 

[Evergreen]

Very handsome!

I see that your front vice is at the right-hand end of the bench - is this normal in Italy or is it because you're left-handed?

What is the cupboard on the side used for??

I agree - that very shallow cupboard is puzzling! Are you going to keep saws in it?

 

[RobertMP]

Wow! I'd be scared to use that in case I gouged it

Thanks all for appreciating my work.

What is the cupboard on the side used for??

This space will be used for squares, calipers, knives etc. I haven't a big shop (car box), so my efforts have been directed to find maximum room for storing hand tools.

your front vice is at the right-hand end of the bench - is this normal in Italy or is it because you're left-handed?

Yes, I am left-handed

Ciao,
Giuliano

An unusual, but definatley nice looking work bench! I'd of said the small cupboard on the side would fit a bow saw in perfectly.

You saw right. It's walnut stained silver fir (I hope the adjective sequence is right 8) )

I'd of said the small cupboard on the side would fit a bow saw in perfectly.

Good idea, thanks

 

[joiner_sim]

bow saw/frame saw. just to clear it up before anyone gets confused.

 

[Corset]

Very impressive. I would feel guilty everytime i put a dent or scratch in it. I love the mix of different woods, it seems more personal in some way.
owen
