Oh my. Anyone need a workbench.

[Mark Engel]

I was browsing on ebay and came across this workbench. It does look like it can use a little tlc. Just thought I would post it here, in case anyone is interested.

Brattleboro, Vermont is only about an hour away for me. I will have to watch this and see where the bid goes. Ebay#300194639920

[Jason Scott]

wow, wish that was close to me :mad:

[Jason Beam]

Yer gonna catch heck for directly linking to ebay - even though it isn't your auction. Change it to say "Ebay #300194639920" instead of a link.

Now ...

Brattleboro is right near greenfield, MA where I once lived - if I'd known i was gonna have the shop i do now (5 years early, pyschically i suppose), I'd be all over that!

That's a great bench, looks exactly like mine.

I built mine out Fine Woodworking, issue 53, I believe it is a Frank Klaus design, very good bench.

I'd be all over that if it wouldn't take up 1/4 of my one car shop

Mark

Are you going to bid on it?

[Greg Muller]

Wow!
I wonder if I can move from MO to MA fast enough???

That grampa has some character....

Are you going to bid on it?

I don't really need it, and I would have to move a bunch of things around to fit it in my small shop. That being said, LOML gave me the OK to bid up to $150.00.

I checked it this morning and it is already @ $157.50 with 6 days left. :(

Oh well, maybe next time.

[john lawson]

I'll bet it goes for over $300. And it will be worth it. There is a lot of wood and a lot of work in that bench.

Yeah, right?

Patina, paint, stain, shellac, etc., etc. :rolleyes:

[John Cooper2]

wrong coast for me,

bet it goes for well over $500.00

[Mark Engel]

Well, for anyone that is interested, that workbench ended up selling for $912.01.

Just a tiny bit higher than the $150.00 that I was going to bid for it. :D

It was a nice bench wasn't it. I just hope that whomever bought it, uses it. It would be a shame to just have it sit.

[mike thomas01]

I bid $425.00 on that bench. Saw that it went for over $900. I cried...uhh, not out loud though.

[Mark Engel]

I'm actually kind of surprised that it went that high.

For that much money I would probably have considered the Euro style workbench from Grizzly with 9 drawers under the 4" top.
