%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

joiners-workbench-with-vice-yoga What I found was that the bottoms of the countersinks weren't quite flat, and when I tightened the nuts down that far, the ends of joiners workbench with vice yoga bolts would be jkiners far enough out of alignment that the vise bases would no noiners fit. The home store didn't carry oak 2x8s. Wooden bench mm x mm - joiner made - slatted Wooden bench mm x mm - joiner made - slatted. I'd intended to put a joiners workbench with vice yoga hole through there, as well, but I'd forgotten to cut out the segments prior to glue0up. These had a design load of pounds. Check the top edge of each stretcher for straightness.

If you get the chance, it would be great to hear your thoughts if any on sourcing screws. I have also glued up the trestles already, so chopping from the inside of the leg will be inconvenient. I also need to think a bit about the placement of the legs and the vise — the room in the basement is small and crammed full of stuff already and we just moved in — bloody hellfire! Oh, and the vise… right. I might have to mount it more to the centre of the bench, because it might be more convenient i.

Is there any disadvantage to that? Total bench length will be about cm 6ft -ish, a bit less. Another thing: I really like your videos. They are well presented and well made and worth every penny! If somebody reading this is wondering about sharpening or the bench build: Get the videos!

They are fun to watch and the methods work, even especially? Once the bench is made I will build the spoon rack, it looks like a good project to learn on small and not too scary, except for the dovetails. Hi Richard, most of this makes a lot of sense, I just wonder about fenced planes. A tail vise seems like the simplest way to hold a piece so that the edge is flush with the front of the bench.

Hi Nathan, In theory, I always thought this too. A holdfast, batten and spiked stop will do the holding here just as well, and you can work on infinitely narrow pieces. I have an inset tail vice — use it all the time. The work is butted against a veritas planing stop so I can just pinch the workpiece enough to stop it moving without any distortion to the piece being worked on.

Maybe my technique is poor as you eluded to. I thickness all of my material by hand, and have never needed a tail vice. Hello Richard, I just finished building an English Workbench from your fantastic video series.

It was my second woodworking project ever, so anyone can make this bench. Mine is probably a wee bit long at 3. The only minor changes I made to your design was to put on a leg vise I splurged on a Benchcrafted Classic Crisscross and two rails to reduce the chance of any racking. No tail vise, no other doodads. Not needed. I just use one or two holdfasts and a batten to stop lateral movement as you showed in another great video.

I did struggle early on with just the planing spike, but the constant feedback you get in using only the spike ensures you keep correcting until you do it right.

The other great advantage, which you also mentioned, is the ease and speed you can shift a piece from the bench top to the vise. Any problem that may require one you can solve with a bench knife, a holdfast, a stick or a pinch dog. Spoken like a true English woodworker.

The French would surely agree; the Germans and Scandinavians not so much. Not long ago, I converted one of my bench dogs into a planing stop by attaching a serrated spike, which was easily filed from O1 steel. Since all my bench dogs are identical, the spiked stop can be positioned anywhere along the bench. Thank you. If one has a series of holes for a hold down, the combination is extremely flexible.

I have a great tail vise, which is used, but could live without it now. There is a description of the parts on my website for thise wanting to make their own. And of course, credit was given to you. I just followed your link and you answered all the questions I would have normally asked.

Thanks Derek, very clever idea! But will I? Another person comes to mind is Larry Williams the famous plane maker also uses one. The latter can be used as a substitute for a tail vice and have the additional flexibility of being usable anywhere along the length or breadth of the bench where you have a holdfast hole of course. When it comes to planing thin stock, I have collected a supply of thin slips of plywood, rectangular and then sliced diagonally to make pairs of wedges; these I use as backstops, preventing the plane from dragging the work back from the planing stop in between forward strokes.

The wedges need be only finger tight and are far quicker to release the work when I pick it up to check progress, for example than winding any kind of screw in and out. Look at Roman work bench designs. I think I saw an episode of The Woodwright Shop or so… too lazy to search right now where this is shown.

No vises years ago, they used a number of pegs and wedges to hold the work. Sounds very similar to what you are doing. Yes I vaguely remember seeing that — and also the Mike Nielsen video Terry mentions — a bit of ingenuity goes a long way! Edit — Mike Siemsen of course! Was that a Freudian slip — do I have Lie-Nielsen planes on my mind?! Great blog Richard. You may find this You Tube video by a chap called Mike Siemsen who seems to get by using only holdfasts and side supports.

Just for nudging my planked top bench. No vices yet, though perhaps a face vice to make the edge Joiners Workbench With Vice 98 planing quick. I was trying to decide where to put my planing stop. Thanks for the advise. Any thoughts on face vice jaw width? I suppose twin screw is also an option but no doubt many workpieces would be just too wide to fit between the screws! My trickiest work-holding problem is using a plough plane on thin stock. Still working on solutions for that. Tips welcome!

I think I know what you mean — and it can be a problem in two ways. First, if the stock is shallow i. And second, if the stock is narrow e. This is where the Veritas plane stops help — I put a short one in two dog holes at right angles to the bench edge and slide it far Joiners Workbench With Vice Models enough out to nearly reach the bench edge — this stops the front of the stock. This keeps the stock aligned along the top edge of the bench, with nothing to impede either the plough plane body or fence.

Hope that makes sense! Thanks Peter. I do use a Veritas planing stop, but for thin stock I need to put something under the stock to prevent the plane iron from hitting the stop. I suppose I could also use over-length stock and screw the ends down — i.

Or design a jig…. One vice? Lol, I managed for ages with a collection of home made wedges which I find better to hold wood steady especially when doing mortices. Also a couple of Sloyd bench hooks pretty much sort me out. Search for cobwobbler.

I built your bench and gave the spike ago. I use it a lot. Sometimes it because it gives me different access to something being sawn or held. Right next to this second vise is a planing stop. Richard, perfect! I agree with you fully. I also think that vice tail is unnecessary. Although some say they love it, most should have it only by tradition in Western banks. Your text is very clear and honest. This all feels familiar. It's because I've just finished tarting up some workbenches ready to sell.

Now, if you've been lingering around from our old days you may remember this thing.

It was rather nicely given to me by my good friend Richard Arnold. If you know anything about the way that I work then you'll know that I don't like to faff. I will always do a proper job though, in fact I tend to do things somewhat overkill. But when it comes to the tools and techniques used I'll always find the most basic and simple route.
