My New Mini Workbench

Post by shipwright »

Here's a link to my Lumberjocks project post on my new Az. small shop full capability workbench. Cost .... ~$100. Built in my SS powered shop. It comes with a complete step by step tutorial blog and a sketchup model with cutlist and plywood sheet layout.

Neat Paul. So if the big one is a 350 does that make this one a 289 ?

Great project, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I've look over your projects on lumberjocks, If i can get half that good I will have considered myself a grand success.

Let's keep the motor references in the same motor family
in ford speak
small bench = 289
Big Bench = 429

In chevy speak
small bench = 327/350
big bench = 454

Come on Terry, 327 is still a pretty big bench.
This is more like a 283. (high performance of course)
Al, no I'm not going into modelling. It's a Lumberjocks thing, maybe Terry will explain the infamous "Bondo pose".

With the logo on the leg vise, we should probably stick with FoMoCo.

Paul, looks like I need to make a second one for Arizona.
