The provided source material describes a custom-built workbench designed for woodworking, featuring adjustable components, storage potential, and mobility. The bench was constructed primarily from reclaimed lumber, with a top made from two layers of 3/4-inch birch plywood laminated together and edged with oak. It measures 27 inches wide and 6 feet long, with a height of 37.5 inches when the landing gear is retracted and 42 inches when the landing gear is extended. The total weight is approximately 200 pounds. Key features include a central well for the tail vise with removable covers and no bottom, making it suitable for a drop-in router; an adjustable front vise ranging from 6 inches to nearly 6 feet wide; and an adjustable planing beam running the length of the bench that uses a wedge to hold boards in place. The builder added landing gear to facilitate easy movement around the workshop. The bench utilizes standard pipe clamps for both vises, dimensional lumber, and was sized to fit the available space. It is described as versatile, simple to construct, and has become a frequently used tool in the shop, eliminating the need to clamp boards to a table saw. The builder acknowledged assistance from other NCWW members for sourcing wood, providing pipe, and transporting plywood.

The source material describes a custom-built workbench for woodworking. It was constructed from reclaimed lumber, specifically using two layers of 3/4-inch birch plywood for the top, laminated together with oak edge banding. The bench measures 27 inches in width and 6 feet in length. Its height varies based on the configuration of the landing gear: it is 37.5 inches high with the landing gear retracted (up) and 42 inches high with the landing gear extended (down). The total weight of the bench is approximately 200 pounds.
Key features of the workbench include: * Vises: It uses standard pipe clamps for both the tail vise and the front vise. The tail vise is located in a central well, and the front vise is adjustable from 6 inches to nearly 6 feet wide. * Planing Beam: An adjustable planing beam runs the length of the bench, utilizing a wedge to secure boards. * Central Well: The well, which houses the tail vise, has removable covers and no bottom, making it suitable for use with a drop-in router. * Mobility: The builder added "landing gear" to the bench to allow for easy movement within the workshop.
The builder noted that the bench is versatile, simple to construct, and can be sized to fit individual space requirements. It has been used frequently since completion, providing a dedicated surface for tasks that previously required clamping boards to a table saw. The builder credited assistance from other NCWW members for sourcing materials and transportation.
