Workbench build is complete!

[claimdude]

Greetings,

I mentioned in a band saw post a couple of months ago that I was building a new workbench for my shop. Well it is now complete! It is a blend of the Jack-Bench and Paulk designs. It is height adjustable from 32" to 42" (maybe a little higher) and weighs about 500 lbs. It's also mobile.

I bought the Jack-Bench plans (and modified for my tastes - larger table size and MFT top). You can see what the original Jack-Bench looks like at http://www.jack-bench.com

I also bought the Paulk Bench plans and again made some changes to size, mobility and torsion construction materials. The Paulk plans are available at http://www.paulkhomes.com/Paulk_Homes/Order_Plans.html

I have more pictures (if you are really interested I can add you to my Dropbox folder so you can view all the pictures taken through the construction process,. Send me a PM with your email address.

Nice Work! Not quite my cup of tea, but here's hoping it suits your needs perfectly/

Very nice. I just completed mine and it's nowhere as nice as yours. I made mine to rase and lower to serve different purposes

Hi Jack, you did a great job on the bench. It looks fantastic!! I really like how you combined my bench design with the Paulk bench. Can I post pictures of it on my website?

I have some news about Jack-Bench that might interest you. Scott Phillips of the American Woodshop invited me to be on his show.

Scott Phillips' neighbor built a Jack-Bench. Scott liked my bench design and he sent me a very complimentary email. He is going to feature the Jack-Bench on his show and he invited me to be on that episode. I am going to his studio sometime in January. I'm not sure when the episode will air, but I'll certainly get the word out.

Let me say again how impressed I am with how good your bench looks!

Thanks,
Charlie Kocourek

Thanks for the praise guys! Charlie, feel free to use any of the photos on your website. I have a couple of videos in the Dropbox folder I invited you to that I prefer not be copied anywhere but any of the stills are OK to use.

Thanks again!
Jack

PS I am enjoying the bench very much.
