Thread: Stunning new workbench from Veritas with Free dog holes

Actually looking at how comfortable the carver looks I reckon this one could back fire and create a demand and have to go into production like their Story Tape.

With a bad back, my problem is leaning over a work bench.
I actually felt like it could be a good idea for some things.

The scarey thing about this is they will be flooded with orders for it.

I somehow think that someone somewhere will make one too........

Might I also remind everyone that apprentice bricklayers were sent to get a box of weep holes or open perpends and now you can, so be careful, Veritis may just be vindicated one day

Of cause there is the obvious drawback, where do you put the coffee mug or beer can......bugger

You fit one of those tooth glass holders that hold the glass and 2 tooth brushes. Tooth brushes are very good for cleaning router bits.

You just never know, Ray.

A group of learned men were called to discuss the future of possible aircraft, back in about 1890. They decided after much careful deliberation that there was no way heavier-than-air vehicles could ever be practical or useful, and that any future for air travel lay with balloons, so all research efforts & monies should all be directed there. Some of them must have lived to see their predictions turned upside down.

This joke bench might start a revolution in woodworking, though I think it would surprise the folk at Veritas as much as any of us......

Cheers,

I tried to order one but the link didn't work. Are they going to fix it?

There are many designs for carving benches, some of which are aimed at carving in the round or relief carving, which provide some relief to the carvers back, and also permit the carver to view the carving as they work, from an angle similar to that in which it would be viewed when completed.

About 12 years ago I carved a large coat of arms, and I made up a substantial frame which was fixed to the wall and rafters of the workshop to enable me to work on the piece, in various positions.

If this bench was made to fix to the wall, but was also allowed to tilt at angles down to the horizontal, it would be very useful for many carvers, especially those with limited space. There are already in existence may carvers benches that have a horizontal top which tilts to the vertical.

Then there are the Computers. I think it was someone from a mainframe computer manufacture who said 4 or 5 decades ago after announcing their latest product that the worlds computing needs would be met with only a very small number of their latest and greatest.

Back in the seventies I worked at one of Australia's largest companies. their computer floors were designed and built to satisfy their projected growth over a period of something in the order of fifty years. Within one decade their computing power had grown exponentially and the floor space utilised had reduced to something like 20%.

Ah. Memories.
Digital Electric Corporation. Known as DEC or Digital.
For most of its existence, the 2nd largest computer company in the world.
Founded by one Ken Olsen.
The introduction of the first general purpose microprocessors inevitably led to the first microcomputers around 1975. At the time these systems were of limited utility, and Ken Olsen famously derided them in 1977, stating "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home".
Of course, DEC disappeared after being purchased by Compaq. A PC company.

A case of thinking outside of the square.... I like it......now all I need is a vertical bench............hmmmmmmmm

We're missing the point. This is obviously designed for use in a space station.

That is absolutely brilliant! I want one! I'm rather jealous of their fully packed STORE too...
