I have a new blog link for all things workbench and such where I will be posting more information as well as a complete article with photos on constructing the Joinery Bench. Any workbench discussions will be welcome as well as questions about the Joinery Bench!

I don’t want to be that guy who is trying to make a dollar on everything. If your willing to put forth the effort to build one, I am all for it, besides woodworking is too damned expensive a hobby or profession as is. Am I right!

I don’t know enough about the details of construction to make anything but a mockery of it.

Similar idea, but sits on your regular bench. See http://theinquisitivewoodworker.com/wordpress/category/benches/

It looks and sounds like a worthwhile project/item to have in my shop. By the way, when I cut and chop dovetails, I sit on a stool. Helps the back considerably.

It could be expanded upon in future with horses for longer material.

The carving that I have done on that bench has been back breaking work. I figured the tall bench would be useful for carving and other chisel-intensive tasks. The other Workbench Book that shall remain unnamed has a nice chapter on tall carving benches. One outdoor version has a plywood base that the owner fills with wet sand to give it mass and stability.

(Obviously the cross brace would have to be changed.) This would stabilize the base with mass and seems to not have some of the negatives Chris points out in his book on "tool cabinet" benches. Plenty of space under the top could be reserved for holdfasts etc. and still have a decent amount of storage.

It’s great that just when I think I’m finally gonna get around to building a bench, to know that I’m really going to end up with a tall detail bench as well. I guess that makes it easier to get all the "tricks" that don’t seem to fit all together in just one bench.
