Building a Workbench

Jem’s dad was having his kitchen surfaces replaced so guess who got the old ones.

Some old roof timbers, some spare OSB and some coach bolts to put the basic structure together.

Kitchen worktop cut down to fit on top.

A couple of vices fitted.

This wasn’t really planned but I had two vices already so I thought I’d use them. ย The high one is great for more detailed work or cutting with an angle grinder but it’s too high to get any weight behind a saw or hammer which is where the low vice comes in.

A useful tool trolley to fit perfectly under the bench. ย This will stay empty as it will be used to work from when under a lifted car.

Bench grinder also in place.

The low vice is also good if you fancy a sit down.
