Benchtop bench
got tired of back pain…
When I was sawing finger or dovetail joints on my traditional Scandinavian workbench, I always ended up standing in a bed over position sawing. Since I am retired du to a neck operation this is especially for me no good.
So when I realized I had to cut a handful for my daughters confirmation gift, I decided it was time to quit whining and do something about it.
Two ways ahead a moxon or a benchtop bench, the bench on bench would give me a general chance of a higher work surface, so that became my choice for now.
It can also be brought on location work and clamped to any table top.
This is how I usually stand.
Bad position, low control and need the work to go up high to not catch the bench and so it becomes less stabile.
I wanted it to be a use and trash version, no sensitivity after, a work top, not a art piece, so I went for thick plywood in a good quality.
First one for the work surface.
Then for the front piece and vise.
This is the plywood.
Then a couple of roof battens 38
