That looks like quite a bench Brett! I’m impressed, now that I’ve started using mine it is making everything so much easier. I should have done it before, but then I may not have been able to complete it before. I hope yours helps you too.
9 May 2013 at 9:43 pm #11809I have just completed my workbench, a little heavier than Paul’s in the artisan 1-2 book. It has taken me a few weeks, it is not perfect but I am really pleased with it, my old bench was bought and very flimsy. So much so I had to bolt it to the wall to plane successfully and the vice was too shallow and wobbly. I hope now to start work on projects starting with the clock.

16 February 2013 at 5:46 pm #8051I think I agree not to buy too many, I have been working from Paul’s book carving spoons and now a stool seat and have found the larger gouges to be most useful. I bought mine second hand from a wonderful old fashioned second hand tool shop near Axminster on the south coast in the UK. My favourite gouges so far are 3/4″ and 1 1/4″.
