Workbench by Stephen Hillier
Built mainly from Scandanavian redwood this bench is 71″ long. It started life as an unadulterated Paul Sellers design but then changed a little. I was pursuaded by other designs I saw that having the legs in the same plane as the worktop was an advantage. I added a front stretcher (it has no structural use) and some fillets to fit to the front of the legs. The shelf underneath is what remains of my old workbench recessed and fitted over the side stretchers which does add some strength. I have used a 9″ Axminster vice recessed into the front apron. I have yet to fit a liner to the front jaw on the vice. Plans include fitting a full width twin screw tail vice. On top of the bench are a couple of mallets and a small round hand plane that I have made..
