What is a "real" woodworker's workbench?

It isn't a table, it's a work-holding system. It's not something you set things on top of, it's a tool that holds your work.

It needs to be heavy enough that it doesn't move under you while you're working, and stiff enough that it doesn't rack itself to pieces under the forces.

A workbench of this quality and build will cost at least $1000 and up if you buy it on retail. Get huge savings and discover how to build this gorgeous traditional workbench with basic tools and readily available lumber!

Discover how to make a very easy-to-build scroll saw.

You can use it as an accessory to any portable workshop. The jig saw is used as the motor, together with inexpensive plywood and some screws.

It take only a few hours to build and material cost less than $30

I use this regularly and I prefer it over retail scroll saws.
