Any experienced woodworker can attest to the fact that a good workbench is one of the keys to success for any project. More than a simple work surface, a well-made woodworking bench incorporates precise angles and a level top that serve as gauges for other projects.
This do-it-yourself version features a heavy laminated top, a convenient storage bin underneath and a design that allows for a precision woodworking vise and bench stop. The completed bench measures about 36 inches tall by 26 inches wide by 60 inches long, and is designed to fit a vise with a 4- by 7-inch jaw.
I would like to build a portable wood carvers bench. Similar to a shaving horse but with a post at one end with a vertical vise to allow clamping a carving and heavy enough to allow hitting the clamped piece with a mallet and chisel. Any suggestions? I’d really appreciate some help here.
Hi, Mike. I’ve never seen anything like this, but when I search Google for images of portable woodcarving benches, I found the following pics. Maybe they’ll give you some ideas for your project.

I need to know if WWGOA is interested in sending their information over seas to South Africa before I apply for membership.

I want to build a portable woodwork bench, have you got a plan similar to this one?
Thanks ~ John McGlinchey
Great question. Sorry, we don’t have plans for a portable workbench, but if you like that one I bet you could modify the design to lighten it up, hinge the legs, and make the lower tray removable for portability.

Newbie to the site
I love all your plans and designs.
I’m a beginning woodworker and would like to make this bench. I have limited space so I may need to modify some of the dimensions but I do have a question about the plans. They specify the dimensions as T, W, L in the cutting schedule. Can someone tell me what T stands for?
Hi Oliver. T=Thickness
Thanks

Where is Figure 4?
Oh sure, you thank STEFAN for his feedback but totally ignore me making the exact same point a month earlier. What am I, a potted plant? I see who the golden child is around here. If you need me, I’ll be in the corner looking all underwatered. (Just kidding. I love your website. Thanks for all the great info.)
Figure 4 is missing from the plan

OK, this might be asking for a lot! 😬
Would you have any plans for an adjustable workbench (height) and portable? I have an island countertop that I have dragged around for a few years. Now that we have our forever home, I need something adjustable and something that rolls. I have two workbenches and a tablesaw that are all different heights. And it drives me a little crazy. Thanks!

Hello Michael,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
Thanks for inquiring with us. Unfortunately our coverage of carving is pretty light and we do not have any resources that cover this topic. Best of luck.
