Want to show off your workbench? Got some workbench ideas or new/original workbench features? Maybe you found a cool workbench online that you want to share. Post anything and everything workbench here.
I found a nice idea for a modular workbench system. It is multiple tables but they can be connected using magnets.
Heres a video about it.
Mine is still in limbo at the moment. I think I am going to go ahead and drill the holes for the leg vise and get it put together. That way when I get the vise it is just plug and play.

Same here. Lumber is sitting outside getting weathered and more dry but I’ve got a tail vise in the box in the shop for it. I’ll get a face vise soon but….
This is what mine currently looks like, nothing special. The only real interesting thing is how I hang the power tools, using old batter shells, and the PVC glue gun holder…

Nice, but seems like way more bench than I would ever need. I also prefer a much wider bench. I often screw jigs etc right into the top, so I prefer a replaceable top. I recently almost bought a used festool MFT table from CL but passed because of their small size.

He mentions that he may look into selling the legs then you could build whatever top you want to fit to the legs.
Since I finally finished mine a while ago. Maybe@Chrisk can finally get his done in the near future [emoji16][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Nice job Bro.! I got approved to start slowly lifting things from Mass General on the first of February and am hoping I can at least start next week! I got back to work on the 1st of March so am hoping to be able to lift some of those timbers I have , down into the Basement shop 👍🙏
Outstanding job rrich1, hell of a job on the vise.
Very nice job. Did you make the threaded shafts for the vice or was that something you bought?
Here’s the little shop I work in. Three benches I built and one was purchased.

I was wondering that too, rrich1 did you make that threaded shaft with a router?

Hey, sorry for not getting back to you guys. My father in law made it on a lathe and router. He took a maple blank i bought and he made the screw and nut for me. I have a bench build thread in the woodworking section if you want more info.
