The New Traveling Bench

These are some pics from the new bench that I just completed. A description of the bench with some detail shots to follow.

The vise is perfect for dovetailing!
Vise was fabricated from a vener vise screw and a blackpipe tee.

I bolted the bench to my table.

The benchdogs are going to make woodworking a lot easier.

The new shop all set up after 7 months off.

Hey Clay,
Lachlan Park here from The Centre For Fine Woodworking, NZ. Great to see the New Traveling Bench all set up ready for some brilliant Dovetails no doubt.

Have just set up a blog for The School, http://thechamfer.blogspot.com/

To begin with I will be blogging about a Sideboard commission I will doing for the next 8 weeks or so. Hopefully other students will be enthusiastic enough to contribute as well and keep it running.

Look forward to continue reading yours, GO THE TRAVELING WOODWORKER!

Cheers,
Lachlan Park
