Entirely hand tools!
Finished up a pair of bedside tables just last week. Next up a banquette and dining table in oak which I’m very much looking forward to.
Not yet at the stage where I can do smaller scale stuff but hoping mid next year.

Thank you! I mostly followed the Quick Stack Workbench plans by Rex Krueger but adjusted a bunch of stuff to what I wanted.

Interesting! Dont think I’ve seen them like that before. When I get to a project with long edges, I’ll see if I can fake a few solutions to check what works best.
Really appreciate the help!

Ah interesting, yea I’ll see how it goes. Was thinking of a couple of dog holes for the holdfasts along the back leg which may do the trick.
So far to be honest the old record vice is incredible at holding stuff, super impressive.

That is one beautiful bench. If I get a long-term space for woodworking, I’ll definitely be building a Roubo.
Do you use the sliding deadman much?

Yea absolutely need to build one. Since I use old school holdfasts, the drawers might have to be height restricted but better than the current mess under there!
Yea no dust or noise really. It’s heaven.

Haha well technically it’s our conservatory / dining room where I use up the space next to the fridge. It’s a very small space but I love it. Means I must only use hand tools but I can’t get enough of it, it’s perfect.
It’s a knock-down bench so I move it out for dinner parties. Need a tool chest!

Recently went to the Victoria & Albert Museum and saw that the old masters didn’t bother with finishing the under sides and hidden parts either - even in the masterpieces!
