My free workbench

[Mike maker]

I picked this old workbench last weekend, complete with vices and 100 years worth of grease& grime. After spending a bit of time on it, I think it turned out pretty good. It's now ready to be put to use.
The wagon tongue vise will come in quite handy.

that's a cool bench, other than it's going to be difficult keeping tools on it since it's upside down! LOL

 

[PFSard]

Nice. Good to go for another hundred years!!!

That is beautiful! And for FREE? That's a "you ****" worthy item.

So glad you got it and are going to use it, it could have ended up some table in a fancy apartment.

 

[Mike maker]

Yea, it deserves to be used, not dined on.

You lucky dog!

Might want to use some boiled lenseed oil on it to prevent cracking

You ****.

That is one beautiful work bench.

That's a lovely bench Mike, and with 2 good vices and a drawer. I agree linseed oil would be good for it, and may prevent you getting a few splinters too! Hope you have many happy hours working with it.

Swapped out my old bench and moved this one in. Now I'm happy.

Nice cave, including the wooden chair.

I love those old English-pattern workbenches. There is a huge bench like yours in the old gristmill in Stoors, CT (where my wifes family lived); the mill was built in, IIRC, 1730. The bench must be at least 150 years old, and still looks completely usable.

Nice bench, it looks happy there and fits in well with its surroundings.

You definitely ****.

That's my kind of workshop.
