This workbench was made by my father who enjoys
model ship building. The idea was to give him
something that could be easily used, had a place for everything he
needed, fit into a small area and would look like a piece of
furniture when not in use. In the closed position shown above it is
46" wide, 19.5" deep and 44" high
The design is flexible
enough to meet the needs of a variety of modelers' interests.
Features
This
bench is made of a combination of solid cherry wood and cherry
furniture-grade plywood. It is coated with our own special durable finish of linseed oil
and urethane.
The solid cherry top is very durable and
ideal for model work. It opens to 26" deep and 44.5" wide.
The top right door
can be equipped with a magnetic bar for holding
hand tools. The top left door has a 20 hole block for holding small tools.
The shelving is designed to handle wood planks 4" wide and
24" long as well as other parts and materials.
The bottom left door is equipped with three removable blocks
mounted with magnets so each can be removed for easy access.
Two are drilled to hold Dremal tools, small drills and files. The fourth is solid and
can be drilled for your custom needs. The larger block is for the storage of larger files and
there is additional space to mount other tools of your choice.
The four drawers are enclosed in a pullout box supported by heavy
duty slides. In the open position this box is pulled forward to support the top and
provide easy access to the drawers. All drawers are mounted with
full extension hardware for easy
use and removal.
The door on the right side provides access to a pullout panel
which accommodates 24" long wood strips and dowels on one side and drawings and manuals on the
other.
The bench is equipped with a double 115 volt receptacle.
An
extension cord is in the rear.
To complete the features there are two large drawers on the left side. They provide storage for power equipment and
larger items.
