New Bench

[Paul Chapman]

Sean, if you are going to have a tool tray and if the bench is going to be up against a wall, it might be a good idea to make at least part of the tray removable. That way you can clamp things towards the back of the bench.

Cheers :ho2

Sean - as Paul rightly suggests, this is a good idea (and one of MrC's) and is very useful...I have a removable tool well on my bench which means that stuff can be clamped at the back of the bench, worth while incorporating in the design - Rob

Where does the dust go that falls through the dog holes?

Into the top drawer, Not a lot surprisingly :lol:

Helps keep the tools dry in the drawers.

Bravo

I hope nobody minds me bumping this post, it certainly motivates you to build your own

that is one nice bench - puts my new one (three bits of 18mm mdf glued together on soft wood legs) to shame

but what to the H&S people say about you keeping two black bears in the workshop ?????

I've never seen this thread until now. The time has come for me to build my first bench and was doing a quick search.
WOW, what a bench if you can call it that. More of a work of art if you ask me. I certainly know what I am going
to base my design on.

Are there any Sketchup models / designs that could be shared to make my life a little easier ? I'm a Sketchup novice.
Only just learning basic joints.

Cheers,
