16mm photo-plank - a new workbench


Fen End Pit

545 views

Everyone needs a workbench, my real one is generally cluttered with a PC, cutting mat, soldering iron and more tins of adhesive and paint than is good for your health.

My 16mm workshop needs a workbench so I purchased some timber from Ely's wonderful City Cycles and went searching on the internet for images of 'vintage workbench UK'

 

I am quite pleased with the result which looks pretty good to me covered in tools.

I think I'm probably going to 3d print some bolt heads and add them to secure the legs together and to the top. I think the vice rather looks the part, but then I am a man with plenty of vices.

Very convincing. That dark rusty look of the tools is spot on, that's exactly how my old tools look. My new ones seem so plasticky and tacky next to them!
