New larger Workbench


 Mortice & Tenon legs
Holes drilled using a Forstner bit, then rough cut with recip saw and coping saw. hand filed to a tight fit.



 Rail notched out for vice web to sit into.
Its finally done to a usable state the 1800L x 900W x 850H workbench Form work ply lower shelf screwed and glued down the top just screwed for now as I need time to use and make some changes which means removing the top.

An 8" quick release vice fitted to one end which over hangs, the other end has had the 3 draws Alan Flett made up for me some years ago slotted in snugly.

The main legs and rails were once the frame around the Nova which again Alan and Pat built and Ken had given the old packing to me. The carcase frame between material picked up along the way. Only the wheels and ply oh and the vice which I bought off Pat cost me all up around $300.




 Inner frame bearers and rails cut and notched out.



 Frame assembly and dry fit



 Full frame assembly


 As it stands now, vice fitted, draws fitted and draw fronts at last afixed with screws and handles tightened so they close. Wheels rated @150kg per.
