This massive oak Joiner’s workbench is built as solid as a rock and has been chopped, scraped, scratched and whacked through decades of purposeful use. The trestle-style base is made of pine and oak. The uprights are 2”x4” boards of yellow pine, through-tenoned and pegged top and bottom to the 2”x3” horizontal members of oak. The trestles are joined by two 1.5”x5”oak stretchers, pulled tight on wooden keys.The bench surface is comprised of a three oak slabs, together 18.5... deep and over 3” thick. The 5” wide tool trough at the rear has a yellow pine floor, as is usual. The ends and vise faces are 4.5”x3” beams of oak. This piece has two vises; a shoulder vise on the front and an end vise on the right side. Both are fully operational on removable wooden screws, which add 5” to the depth and 3.5” to the right hand side. This piece displays some handsome exposed hand-cut dovetails in the oak vise fronts. At 33” deep without the vise screw, it could be a side table, a sofa table, a server in a restaurant, or a magnificent TV console. It also functions extremely well as a bench in a home workshop.80"Lx34"Dx33"HHungary, circa 1920Shipping cost will depend on service required and distance to destination.
