The Woodshop Shed

The OzzyOcker Workbench

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


My new workbench recently completed. Made from reclaimed Tasmanian Oak hardwoods, with Spotted Gum floorboards used for the shelf. I had always planned on using a HNT Gordon tail vice, but after seeing the HNT Gordon non-racking front vice at a local wood show, I knew I would have to splash the cash on that too.The legs are splayed out slightly. It added quite a lot of extra work to the build, but after modelling the bench in Fusion 360, it simply looked better with the legs splayed. I also dyed the sliding deadman and tail vice cover plate “blue”, but it ended up being green/blue after applying a single coat of danish oil to everything.Let me know what you think. Thanks.

A few months ago my uncle gave me several long 3/4” x 3/4” strips of walnut and finally got around to making him a cutting board, as thanks. The accent pieces are maple and cherry.

Drill Press Rolling Stand

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I wanted to add wheels to my drill press. I got these casters from Amazon. Link To Casters I made the frame and it is glued together, the top parts are not glued, so if I need to I can take the press out of the frame. At first I did not have the strong backs over the wheels, but it was a little bouncey.Added the strong back and it is solid. You can dance with this.
