Hi all,
I'm in the process of setting up a small shed for ukulele building rather than using my kitchen table.
I'm about to design my main workbench and I have a few questions on what sort of bench set people use or recommend.
I'm limited for space so the bench will run wall to wall with a wall behind it (so I will only have access to the front). It will be 2.2m long. I'm thinking of a face vice and using bench dogs with a veritas wonder pup (or similar) for clamping on the surface. Does that sound sensible? is there a better vice/clamping setup? This bench will be the main assembly and hand tool bench, the other side of the shed has the power tools, pillar drill, belt sander, bobbin sander, router, jointer planer and bandsaw.
What height should I make the bench top?
I've read a few comments where people have preferred a higher than normal bench height.
Does anyone work seated or on a stool?
Thanks for any comments.
