| Details for Woodworker Bench Plans
 Free Woodworker Bench plans - The time had finally come when the frustration of chasing my Workmate around the shop while trying to hand plane a board had built up to the point that I was ready to put all other projects on hold until I finally had myself a decent workbench. I had been intending to build myself a workbench all along, but never seemed to find the time before. Now I had determined to MAKE the time. I had a picture inside my head of what my bench would look like, sort of a distillation of ideas I had seen in magazines, catalogs, and books. I knew I wanted a very solid, well supported laminated top with bench dog holes for use in conjunction with the front and end vise. My material of choice for the bench top was either hard maple or beech. I already had a front vise that I had picked up at a woodworking show several years back but had never installed anywhere because I didn't have a bench to install it on. I had also decided to go with the Veritas twin-screw vise as my end vise. Due to the small size of my workshop, I felt that the largest I would be able to go was about five and a half feet in length and 2 and a half feet in depth.
