Saw Bench

[James Owen]

New saw bench completed. 100% Neander project.

Construction is 5/4" red oak throughout. Dimensions are 10-1/2" W X 32" L X 20" H. Wedged through tenon and tusk tenon construction. Moderately heavy (about 25 lbs) and very stable. Four coats of tung oil for the finish. Right now, there are 3 holes for hold fasts; I want to use it for a couple of months and see whether any more need to be added.

So far this has been a lot of fun to use: another shop aid that I should have made years ago......

Nice job, like the idea of using hold fast, but do they get in the way?

Thanks!

They haven't gotten in the way so far.

You might want to consider the peg and wedge system also. It comes in handy at times.
