I built this workbench for my final project in the Industrial Woodworking Technician program at Humber College in Toronto, ON. I used hard Maple throughout and finished it with Linseed oil and bee's wax.

The design is based on Tage Frid's adaptation of the traditional European cabinetmaker's bench, but also incorporates some design elements from Frank Klausz, Mark Paddison, and various similar European benches from the 19th century.

Special thanks to Mark Paddison, Robert Chan (both of whom have built similar benches), and Johann Guertsen at Humber College for helping me with the design and construction of this project!
