PORTABLE WORKBENCH BUILD // Small Space Budget Woodworking

Күн бұрын

I needed a small portable workbench to use while between shops so I built this DIY mini workbench out of construction lumber and normal store hardware.
After watching lots of builds and portable workbench reviews I decided to go overkill on the clamping options. I integrated a Moxon Vise, Plane Stop and Wagon or Tail Vise as a test run for my full size workbench build to see what I like and use the most.

This would make a terrific gift for a friend you know wants to get into woodworking.

I don’t have any big power tools, just hand tools, so finding a video where someone builds a work table with hand tools is amazing. Thank you so much!!

This is a cool little mini bench for in the house if it's too cold for going out into the workshop in the Winter months. Some days my shop is freezing. I don't have heating in there so during winter I can use a little bench like this in my work room in the house. I have a room with some tools in me gaff as well. Not loads but this is perfect for doing some smaller work pieces that need to be planed or worked on..
