Back-Saving Benchtop

By: Erich Lage & Rob Petrie
Being Able To Stand Straight At The Workbench Lets You Work Longer.

09 26 01 Normal workbench heights are fine for most work, but for many people, fine detail work at that height will have them hunching for hours. This “back-saving” benchtop is amazingly rigid and solid when clamped to the top front of your workbench. Your workpiece is then clamped up at a comfortable height, whether you’re cutting dovetails or carving. The project can be made to fit you, and best of all, it only takes an hour or so of shop time and a few pieces of spare scrap lying around. 09 26 03 09 26 04
