This is my first bench, so I value your experience and opinions.

I am building a rather simple workbench, made from one massive maple plank on top of a rather traditional trestle. One thing I am not sure about is how to fix the bench top to the trestle? Since it is not laminated wood, the fixation should allow for the movement of the wood, but still hold it down on the trestle (the top is heavy, but not heavy enough).

thanks for your answers,
Christopher, Germany. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (clusi) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/372 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 04:00:43 GMT http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/373/t/Commercial-shop-with-sanding-machine-in-Boston-Area.html feeds@yuku.com (wdsawyer) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/373 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 06:17:57 GMT http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/374/t/Klausz-Bench-Top-.html
The main benchtop sections are how thick? (the 13 1/8 section)
It does not really say anywhere?

We're metric here and have been since 1967. I'm guessing these are Imperial measures, but can someone please tell me what they mean?

eg 4"x 2" is 100mm x 50mm here and the most common size for wall construction timber out of Pinus Radiata. But this is the nominal size. The finished planed dimensions of a 100x50 are 90mm x 45mm.

I'm reading the postings with great interest. I'm building my first bench. I got some 6/4 oak from a local supplier. I got it for $1 bf because of knots and because its both white and red.

Do you think I can mix these species for the top and apron? Do I risk splits and glue seperation?

Thanks,

My wife and I recently purchased our first house, and with that came the need for my first workroom. That, of course, led to the need for the first work bench. Ours is a 95 year old house, so wood working will become a big part of my life as we restore it. Alas, I'm a complete novice, and my tool arsenal includes nothing more powerful than a handheld circular saw, a drill and a perhaps a strong cup of coffee.

My current thought is to create a torsion box top... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (1049724) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/386 Wed, 14 Jan 2004 15:07:40 GMT http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/380/t/Flat-Top.html feeds@yuku.com (IL Smokey) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/380 Tue, 30 Dec 2003 20:09:11 GMT http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/387/t/Leg-face-boards.html I have a question about attaching face boards to the legs for clamping work to.
I've done metal work for 30 years but not alot of woodwork.
I would think that having a sturdy vertical board to clamp to would be handy. I find no benches built that way thou. I could attach them so they stopped short of the floor allowing for toe room.
Any input would be appreciated. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Rob(d)) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/387 Sat, 27 Dec 2003 21:53:26 GMT http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/383/t/Letting-8-4-maple-sit-before-ripping.html feeds@yuku.com (Jim M(d)) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/383 Tue, 18 Nov 2003 15:45:02 GMT http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/379/t/bench-top-materials.html feeds@yuku.com (beaver(d)) http://workbenchdesign.yuku.com/topic/379 Mon, 17 Nov 2003 20:10:45 GMT
