Hybrid Workbench
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Hybrid WorkbenchI don't know what to call this style, other than implementing a wishlist of features. One of the sides has a Hovarter leg vise with x-link, and a deadman. The other side has an offset slot for hand sawing, with a filler board for the rest of the time. On one end, I had a front vise that has been sitting in a box for two house moves, and it was time to use it. Quick release with new wooden jaws. The other end has a planing stop that can be lowered down to the benchtop. It weighs a ton, but has retractable casters that allow it to be easily moved. It is somewhat modular, so that it can be disassembled into pieces that can be moved by two people, for when the day comes that my son will have to clean out the house. Bench bolts in the long strechers, ledgerlock screws hold the tops down on the leg mortices. Lag screws in the skirts add rigidity to the top/leg junction.
I bought the SYP a year ago, before the price of wood went up to ridiculous. 2×10 ripped in half for the top. Legs are laminated, mortised and drawbored SPF, with small treated pads to sit on the concrete basement floor.
