Easiest workbench for weakling

[Steve Kaminska]

I skipped most of the replies, but I just want to add... A bench is a tool, like a chisel or a saw, they are supposed to make our work easier. Find a bench that works for you, or modify a design until it works for you. Texans are a friendly lot, see if you can "test drive" a few different bench designs from local woodworkers, find the bench that works best for you, and go from there.

Hey Tony,

No problem with the Blum bench on doing edge planing--it's like a nicholson with pipe clamps.
Also, very stiff with minimal racking.
