Thread: Triton Project Workbench

I'll take that as a 'no', but I just realised I probably should have posted on the workbench forum, just discovered. In any case, I think I''ll have a crack at this one instead:
VIDEO – Build the 21st-Century Workbench | Popular Woodworking Magazine

Hi Chris,

Before you build your new bench (major project) have a look at the New Fangled Workbench video here. I too built the Triton wooden work bench from the Triton plans when I first got my workcentre 2000 and used an interior door as the top. (Solved wood movement problems). That served me well until I built my New Fangled Workbench.

There are photos of a variant built by forum member Bushmiller here. You should have a look at his posts under Bespoke Workbench.

Also, search for "New Fangled Workbench" in these forums for more info.

I built my version of John Whites - "New Fangled Workbench" about 3 years ago and it is the most useful item in my Shed. (Been working on a second smaller version for the last year.) The work support beam on the front of the bench is constantly in use. Because I didn't have detailed plans, I origionally built my bench as a prototype out of Bunnings 90x45 structural pine using 2 Triton SuperJaws to clamp the wood as I glued it into the wider sections needed. It turned out so well, I haven't had to replace the prototype.

If you build one - use 3/4" pipe and the best pipe clamps you can find. I bought mine from Timbercon.

If you are interested I can provided links to Sketchup files and build blogs on other forums.

Enjoy the workbench journey - whichever way you go.

Have a great weekend.

Regards, Chris

Thanks very much Chris, I didn't know about the new fangled bench. I'll lokk into it.
