    Default 1943 Bench Plans - Bench Hook and Ideal Bench

    Hi all,
    In addition to my series in the toy forum, I plan to post a series of historical bench plans (I need a bench).

    The first is from 1943 late in WWII, billed as "the finest type of bench ever evolved".

    As a bonus, plans for a bench hook with mitre block and vice are included.

    Let me know whether I should continue the series.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Sorry!

    I scan the pages in as double page spreads, then split and resize them and put them into a PDF. I don't remove the spurious pages in between, usually.

    The first page happens to be the last page of a beehive build - included just to confuse you!

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Hi all,
    I've now removed the beehive page from the PDF, to save confusing others.

    Regards,
    Chris.

    Beehive? Oh so thats what it was

    I just built one and stuck a tailvise on it. Now I know why it looks stupid.

    Cheers

    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Cheers Doug,
    got a good laugh from that .

    I imagine the bees aren't all that happy with all the hammering on the roof, either!

    Cheers, Chris.

    The bench plan is a bit late for me as I just built one a year ago. I do like the large bench hook and vice and can see one of those being very handy to take to away jobs. That and a bag of tools and you are almost set up for woodworking on the run.
    Regards
    John

    Thumbs up

    Keep the posts coming!! I enjoy the fact that ideas can be gleaned and I love the language of the texts.

    I also find the illustrations interesting. When I did man. arts at high school that was the type of illustration
    we were supplied with.
