This was my personal carver’s bench I designed and built to accommodate the many holding requirements and storage of the multiple carving tools both for hand and power carving.  It is made mostly of Maple with walnut accents for the drawer dovetails.  The false fronts are made of 1/2 inch BB with Plumb Pudding Mahogany veneer and Curly Maple trim.   The drawer pulls are also home made.   There are 16 drawers in total and 8 have special organization sections to keep the tools in place. Each drawer has two extra long bottom slides that allow nearly full extension and a smooth closing action.

As I'm finalizing my design and gathering parts, I wonder if the pattern maker's vise is worth it. Please give me your opinion. Also, what brand is yours? And, do you like it?
Again, your workbench is beautiful.

oakleafjoe writes: Beautyful work! Has anyone told you you should of made that a dresser or some other piece of furniture?
I made a tool chest and I had a person at my work tell me that I wasted a beautyful chest by putting tools in it. I told them that the tools in the chest cost way more than a bunch of store bought quilts.
My wife fully agrees with me on this.
They could not understand the idea of a tool chest.
I posted this tool chest this past spring.
Some people at my work wonder why I roll my eyes at them.
