Oak Trestle-Base Carpenter's and Joiner's Workbench
About the Item
This is a beautifully chopped and gnarled carpenter’s workbench.
The trestle-style base is made of oak. The uprights are hand-cut, through-tenoned and pegged top and bottom to the horizontal members. The trestles are joined by two 2”x4” stretchers, pulled tight on wooden keys. We cannot be certain that this base was always paired with this bench top.
The bench surface is comprised of a massive oak slab, 3” thick. The tool trough at the rear has a yellow pine floor, as is usual, and is sloped at both ends, which is rare. The bench has two vises. An end or “tail” vise on the right hand side, and a front or “shoulder” vise on the left-hand front, both of which operate on sturdy hardwood screws, which add 6” to the length and 3” to the depth of the surface. The “arm” of the shoulder vise is beautifully dovetailed into its end cap, to resist the pressure that will be applied to it. These have been used as side tables, sofa tables, serving tables in restaurants, and TV consoles. Not surprisingly, they also function extremely well as workbenches in a home workshop.
