Revision as of 18:18, 22 November 2018

"Private" page about my CoMaking bench - feel free to read on, but it's more of a note to myself than something I would expect to be interesting ;-)

The bench will be a Roubo style workbench and set up in the office. It will be made out of Douglas fir planks and end up about 1.5 m wide to fit into "my" corner.

Walls

  • backboard: 125 × 134 × 2 cm (H × B × T) plywood, needed to hold the shelves/distribute weight over the plasterboard wall
  • sideboard: ? × ? × ? for hanging tools

Top

  • laminated douglas fir Glattkantbretter
    • 300 × 14.5 × 1.8 cm boards cut in half two times (across & lengthwise) -> top approx. 150 cm wide and 7 cm thick
    • not jointed as we didn't have the equipment yet - top planed by hand after assembly
    • a biscuit joiner would have helped with the glue-up - without it, some boards slipped
  • 3 sliding dovetails (Gratleisten) to prevent warping, made of oak

Understructure

  • legs consist of three laminated douglas fir Glattkantbretter
    • final size: 14.5 × ? × ? cm
  • stretchers: need to be built next!
    • at least something horizontal that will also hold a simple storage shelf
    • perhaps also diagonal, depends on the stability achieved with the horizontals

Planned Features

  • woodworking vise - on the right face, as tail vise? front should ideally be flush for planing
  • 3/4" holes for holdfasts or bench dogs
    • some in the top (one row in the woodworking vice's direction for sure), some in the legs
    • exact layout TBD, can be drilled as the need becomes clear
  • (sliding?) skirt with further dog holes to support large pieces that need planing on their edges
  • horizontal twin screw ("Moxon") vise - non-permanent to leave room in the front?
  • tool well? could fill gap on the back left (obstacle on the right that prevents the bench to be fully against the wall)
  • leg vise on the right?
    • would there be enough flush space left for planing?
    • perhaps the vise could be screwed off whenever that much space is actually required
  • plane stop on the far left
  • storage options: just some "floor" for now
    • perhaps (partial!) cabinet/drawers later
    • or a second floor, with a cut-out to allow comfortable sitting at the bench?
