What is the hole in the leg for?

The holes in the legs are to clamp it down to your bench.

That is a really nice portable workbench. I would use it as a coffee table because I wouldn't want to scratch it.

WOW!! I would like to build one of these (not as ornate). Do you sell plans? If not, would you be upset if I used your design from your photos to build my own?

I never made any plans to build the bench. Feel free to copy it if want. If you have any questions about building it just give me a holler and I'll try to answer any questions you might have. Thanks everyone!!

Nice work,Les. I'd be afraid to use it with what and where I'd need a 'field bench'. I'd be afraid to blow a hole into it, or scrape it up. But I might spoof the 'k-d' detail of the legs; that'll fly...;)

That sure looks nice, Les. If you get any side to side racking while planing, for example, then canting the "a" frame legs would make it a bit sturdier.

Mark, Thanks for your comment! The bench really wasn't made to do hand planning, its a little high for that. I made it for doing inlay work on federal furniture pieces mostly. But I have found very useful for many things. As far as the racking goes, its really not bad. Hasn't been a problem with anything that I have used it thus far.

Amazing, I can see a bevelled edge in the dog holes on your workbench top, please, could you share with us which technique did you use to achieve those nice circular bevelled edges? thanks
