BUILDING A NEW WORKBENCH

The heart of any wood shop is the work bench It's the place where every project comes to life, and in the world of social media the popularity of it is almost over whelming.
The problem for someone researching the subject is the amount of information out there that they have to sift through. Then it's who do you listen to ?

I think a work bench is a personal thing that can only be decided on by the person using it, and only after years of developing your craft can you truly know what does or doesn't work for you. Because just maybe a moxon vise is all you really need, especially if your just after a way to secure stock while cutting joinery.    

​My best advise is to take in as much  information as you can find, looking at established woodworkers whos styles of work you are influenced by and see what they are using committing yourself to understanding why they use what they use.
For now just get your self a couple of saw horses with a piece of ply board across the top and start woodworking. Because only after you progress in your craft and gain some knowledge can you make an honest, informed and educated decision on what will work for you.
