You need a workbench!

My English Joiner's Bench is sturdy, strong and incredibly easy to build. This design is based on jobsite benches built by 19th Century carpenters and housewrights. It's made to go up fast using common construction lumber and it handles EVERY common woodworking operation. Even if you're brand new to woodwork, you can build this bench.

The complete Joiner's Bench Bundle includes detailed, stepbystep plans for building the bench along with a complete stocklist and cutlist.

This bundle includes complete instructions for building the bench, including a stock list and cut list. You also get all of the workholding options, like the planing stop and crochet. Also included are the complete plans for the Big Leg Vise, including all the hardware and detailed shaping and fitting instructions.
