[Whitehawk23]

just a little bench I made to help when building bows. figured I'd share it

[bigbob2]

Looking good. hope many fine bows cross its surface.

[Whitehawk23]

Thank you. made it from scrap lumber my brother had layin around. I'm hoping my first WORKING bow comes off of it.

Use it in good health. Jawge

My best advice....anchor it solid. You will be yanking that thing all over the shop! I made mine with 4 x 8 3/4 MDF with 4 x 4 legs and it still skids when I rip bark and sapwood off.

Nice bench!

[Whitehawk23]

Yeah its pretty solid now I'm probably gonna screw another 2x4 on the legs so it'll act as a 4x4. thanks

[Whitehawk23]

And I'm probably gonna build a tiller on the side of it also

Take ol Pearls advice and anchor it if your gonna be doing much draw knife and scraping work on it.  You'll be suprised how much pulling force you create when the knife hangs and your jerk your whole table across your shop. lol Good looking bench ya got there.

Yeah my father in law is in construction so ill see if he's got any tips. but thanks for the compliment and advice

Not to belabor the point of sturdiess but my vice is mounted on a 3" steel pole that is concreted 2 ft. into the ground and the pole is full of concrete and it still moves around too much for me sometimes.
