Cherry anarchist workbench

Cherry anarchist workbench

Hey guys, I just finished building my second workbench. The top is all cherry that I got rough cut and milled myself. It’s glued butcher block style. Base is Douglas fir 2x12’s ripped, planed and glued up. Leg vise chop is ambrosia maple. I designed and built the scissor mechanism myself, which I’m sure you can tell haha.

I’m planning on making a wheel using an old brake rotor for the vice, but that’s a later project. Im also planning on making a shelf for the base, I just need to buy the wood for it.

It’s built to the specs of the anatchist workbench book, except the top is only 4” thick, due to being short on material, and I haven’t drilled bench dog holes yet.

Anyway I’m really happy with it and I’m looking forward to getting some good use out of it!
