Work Bench
Jan 23, 2011
Lumber from a local bush, Canadian hard maple and Matt Kenney’s work bench basic design with some added touches like the tail vise, round dog holes, purple heart dowels in the bottom tresle ends. Great bench only took 2 months on weekends to complete! Photo’s are not great as I had to crop them and they don’t do the bench justice.

Wow! Looks real nice. I just finished a bench in a similar style, but with a european shoulder vise. Your vice joints look much cleaner than mine. Good work! I hope it serves you well.
I used the Louis Volpp method of cutting the dovetails with the table saw. I glued up some 2x6 spruce and made a few practice joints until I was comfortable cutting into the 8/4 hard maple. You can just google table saw dovetails to watch the 3 part u-tube video on how this method works. It's a very accurate method of cutting dovetails.
Cheers! Kev
