Workbench

A workbench is the centerpoint of the workshop.  I’ve worked with a makeshift workbench that I would characterize as an assembly bench primarily as it had very little in the way of workholding ability.  This page is dedicated to the evolution of the workbench in my workshop.

What my workshop looked like when I started the blog - includes pictures of my assembly/outfeed bench.
