new workbench
May 02, 2009
my new workbench. all very nice hard maple with slow consistent growth. some boards had 30 growth rings per inch. Frank Klausz style tail vise with ipe runners. twin screw german front vise. must weigh around 350 lbs. top boards were cut up into quartersawn stock in october and milled and glued in march. very solid and a pleasure to use.

Did you use plans?
I used the Frank Klausz plans in the Workbench Book as guidance, but I didn't follow them exactly. I wanted to make a tail vise with wooden guides and I think the way it's done on the Klausz bench is one of the better ways to do it.
Hello,
Go to Fine Woodworking, WHERE ELSE, No. 53 July August 1985 for plans of Franks workbench. I've enjoyed mine for more than 20 years--Ken
Very Nice. Did you consider putting the base under the tail vise?
I'm building a similar design and am concerned about the balance with the base so far to the left.
