What is the hole in the leg for?


Posted By: Les Hastings     [07/28/2014]
The holes in the legs are to clamp it down to your bench.

That is a really nice portable workbench. I would use it as a coffee table because I wouldn't want to scratch it.

Great design. beautiful.

WOW!! I would like to build one of these (not as ornate). Do you sell plans? If not, would you be upset if I used your design from your photos to build my own?


Posted By: Les Gastings     [07/30/2014]
I never made any plans to build the bench. Feel free to copy it if want. If you have any questions about building it just give me a holler and I'll try to answer any questions you might have.
Thanks everyone!!

Nice work,Les. I'd be afraid to use it with what and where I'd need a 'field bench'. I'd be afraid to blow a hole into it, or scrape it up. But I might spoof the 'k-d' detail of the legs; that'll fly...;)

That sure looks nice, Les. If you get any side to side racking while planing, for example, then canting the "a" frame legs would make it a bit sturdier.

Mark, Thanks for your comment! The bench really wasn't made to do hand planning, its a little high for that. I made it for doing inlay work on federal furniture pieces mostly. But I have found very useful for many things. As far as the racking goes, its really not bad. Hasn't been a problem with anything that I have used it thus far.

Amazing, I can see a bevelled edge in the dog holes on your workbench top, please, could you share with us which technique did you use to achieve those nice circular bevelled edges? thanks


Posted By: Les Hastings     [10/14/2017]
Paul I just used used a router with a 45 degree bit with a bearing
