In 2005, while in Grand Teton National Park, I took my woodworking to the next level and built a portable workbench. I designed and built this bench blindly, without ever seeing one of its kind. Needless to say over the past three years the bench has seen many a project slide over its top. As I used the bench more and more I learned of its shortfalls and begain to design an updated version of the portable workbench. The new workbench is close to completion and I will write about that in a later blog. That being said I decided to recycle the 8/4 hard maple from the old bench and create a butcher block for a friend. In its reencarnated state I hope it will carry on the spirit of creativeness that it bestowed on me over the years.

Very interesting idea. A portable bench. I've been seeing an increasing interest in woodworkers who work in small spaces or need portable setups. I'm curious to see your new design. Keith (www.woodtreks.com)
