Brandon wanted to take a hand-tools workbench to the next level. He incorporated his own design elements on a time-tested workbench design. All the joinery was cut by hand, including mitered through-dovetails on the work tray and houndstooth half-blind dovetails on the front. After doing relentless research on workbench designs, he finally settled on the Moravian workbench because he’s in a basement workshop and not sure where his career may take him. He wanted to be able to break his bench down and bring it with him wherever he goes.
