I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to have a pair of saw benches. I find that it would be nice to have a second saw bench when I am sawing longer stock and I would also like them to do double duty as the base for a temporary low assembly table. Today I did an internet search for saw benches and came upon the following at Kari Hultman's The Village Carpenter blog (used with permission):
Her post about it is here. Kari had done the same thing I did this morning:
"I searched the internet this morning for saw bench plans and settled on one built by Dan Klauder, who found inspiration in Alex Bealer's Old Ways of Working Wood."
So, to Alex Bealer, Dan Klauder and Kari Hultman, thank you. Check out the book and the blogs.
You are very welcome Andy! I'm glad it was helpful. Nice blog too.
ReplyDeleteYou could extend the saw slot down the legs if you made them of plywood. Or you could do the same to real wood legs if you made removable supports like butterflies routered into the top (there's a good chance you'd hit them with the saw a time or two so why not make them replaceable).
