Re: Adjustable Height Workbench

Thanks Doc! I showed the bench at a local woodworking exhibition and so many people requested copies of my plans that I decided to build a website and make them avaialable.

I did think about building benches, but with my regular job I just don't have time. The original Jack-Bench pictured on my site is still available if anyone is interested, but I am only offering bench plans, not completed workbenches.

Re: Adjustable Height Workbench

Hi dianavvm,

I have mailed plans to Australia, Europe, and recently I even mailed a set to Korea. However, the plans are in inches. The easiest thing would probably be to buy a tape that reads in inches. Thanks for asking!! Charlie

Re: Adjustable Height Workbench

Thanks for the kind words about my workbench; it's great to see such a positive response! To answer Caryhson1's question. The extra hardware required to allow this bench to adjust including that required for the mobile base adds about $150 to the cost of building one. The vises are kind of spendy, but they are worth it. I love the Veritas Twin Screw vise! Ironically, some of the least expensive parts are the two scissors jacks. I got mine at a salvage yard for $10 each. I have a whole page on my website about scissors jacks, and why one is better than another for this application. Thanks, Charlie Kocourek
