- I built my joinery bench in 2011 and have been using it extensively ever since. This video demonstrates how effective it can be by building a small serving tray. For more on this bench you can check out a series of blog posts on my site at www.renaissance... or find the entire build in The Hand Tool School Semester 3 where I also dedicate a lot of time to designing a workbench to meet your specific needs. www.handtoolsc...
Glad you enjoy it so. I’ve opted for a moxon w/ a table top that extends behind the rear of the chop 26” wide x 20” deep and about 8-1/2” tall. It sets atop my bench and tacks down with two holdfasts. At 6’3” and multiple spine injuries, I absolutely find having the increased height as a total game changer. It allows me to enjoy the shop so much more because I’m not in the mental struggle between pain and crafting. Maybe a dedicated joinery bench will be in order when I part with my table saw this winter.
From one Shannon to another, thank you for all of your content. I never find myself scrubbing forward through your videos; your pace, and your philosophies of work/problem solving are certainly one of my favorite of all content creators.
I love the look of this bench, and the thoughtful creativity that went into its creation.
This is perfect for me. I’ve really been thinking about a roubo but for some dovetails and chisel work, this would fit my needs much better!
I really like this bench set up, and with the beam attached there are endless uses.
Shannon, excellent job. Melding the small project in with the description of the bench and its attributes is brilliant. Thanks.
I like this. Where I can see this being handy for me is to have a second smaller bench inside the home. Sometimes I want to be inside with family rather than working in the garage by myself. Basically as you said in the video when you talked about apartment workers. Inside the home I would be doing joinery work so it being taller is handy. I could even use one of the kitchen bar stools to sit in front of it comfortably with it at this,height.
Very interesting- When I was building my workbench, I really wanted it to be higher, as I don't do hand-planing, but all the advice out there seemed to say it should be about knuckle height - I'm glad I went with my instincts and built my bench higher but your compact version is really great.
Definitely will be making one as I had already found myself doing most of my carving and dovetail work at my high jewellers workbench, which works well but would benefit from the moxon vice. Thanks for sharing.
Super useful bench! Even for a more amateur woodworker like me I think this thing can be really handy! Thanks for sharing this. Beautiful video!
I love the elegance of your work! Thanks for sharing this, very clever
This is just a beautiful idea for limited-space shops. Just a well designed, well-built, and perfectly fit for purpose. Im building one now :)
Your handsaws are the fastest cutting on youtube it could be video editing but im guessing not ...I built a bench somewhat modeled on your joinery bench + beam + tilt and slightly bigger its my only bench so its gonna do it all You are absolutely a huge source of great info and inspiration to me and thousands of other wannabes I salute U
Would love to see that bench and thanks
I'll figure where to send it and no thank U
it's magic.
This bench is exactly what I need, considering space in the garage I have
I need one of those benches!
Very nice design Shannon......
Thanks! You just reminded me why I should not leave a steel holdfast on the side of my sawbench or workbench, where I might be using a ripsaw. Chipped teeth are no fun.
Excellent ideas!
Wow that is one nice bench!
Thank you! RWB
If flipping love that bench!!!!!
.thanks for sharing your knowledge
Assuming that the vast majority of pieces one clamps are of a common thickness throughout, requiring two separate tensioning adjustments seems a bit inconvenient. Perhaps an inexpensive and not too elaborate solution would be to incorporate bicycle-style gear wheels to evenly adjust the clamping tension from either crank. A gear wheel could be installed between each crank and the outer clamping board and fastened to the axle with hex screws. A bicycle chain would synchronize the gear wheels. This solution would still retain the ability to separately adjust the cranks when necessary by loosening the hex screws of either gear wheel, making the necessary adjustment and then re-tightening.
So the real advantage of this bench is the height. Adding a moxon vice to the end of your existing bench does the same thing? I agree this is an excellent bench for the apartment woodworker as well. I never use my tail vice on by bench, I thin I will replace it with my moxon vice, This is a fantastic idea, thanks for the application.
A moxon will get you close but the bench surface behind the vise is a major advantage too. I think the bench on bench model is a good compromise instead of just the standard Moxon vise jaws.

Here it is, 19:57, found the pairing block, it only looked metallic because it’s made out of ebony.
Jeremy Long okay that's what I was thinking about. Yes ebony, shop made block
Your carving mallet rocks! It's a large journeyman's?
Have you considered making this a bench that you would put on top of the main workbench? Using dogholes as alignment. The front of both benches should be flush.
What is the difference in height between this bench and the Roubo?
Great video Shannon and a great little bench. Do you find the lack of mass to be an issue? I noticed it does wobble some when you use it for planing and sawing. One of the advantages of the large benches is the sheer weight of the bench makes it very stable. I'm curious how much an issue this is. Thanks for all the great videos.
Scott Clark no not an issue, sure it wobbles more than my Roubo bench but thats to be expected since it weights less than 1/3 of the Roubo. There are changes that could easily be made to this design if the plan was to use it for milling work. For me, it wasn't an issue because I just use my full size workbench. One of the easiest things you can do is screw the whole thing down to a sheet of plywood that you stand one while planing...ta da instant bench weight gain! It really just comes down to how you use the bench.
Great Idea!
"I'm not fat, I need to keep my weight up to stabilize my bench!"
Weare did you buy the dovetail marker or what brand it is thanks
Hello, I'm thinking of building something similar in my apartment and it would be of great help if you could upload images to show how the workbench looks like underneath. Could you also post the measurements of the workbench?
Also, I was thinking that a wall mounted folding workbench would be a good idea (space saving and anti-wobbling).
Thanks
Daniel Szekely I urge you to follow the link in the description to my site. There are several posts there that cover the details you are looking for. Of course the complete build in much greater detail is available in Hand Tool School semester 3 but that is a paid product, and also why I'm hesitant to post too much here out of respect for my customers who have purchased that semester.
RenaissanceWW Thank you and I appreciate
Should solve some economy space issues too.
Nice idea. I will build one of these.
One question: What is the name of the song in the end of your video?
Greetings

Thank you!
What do commercial manufacturers of woodworking workbenches use for finishing? I'm asking because it doesn't seem to be boiled linseed oil.
I think a lot of them use a varnish. Probably sprayed on. But I do think many of the boutique makers these days use an oil or some kind of penetrating finish. Personally I leave it naked
Thank you. I'm asking mainly because I lack knowledge on natural wood finishes that are long-lasting and that don't darken wood. Not necessarily those two in conjunction in one finish. Personally, I'm planning on either sealing all endgrain areas in my emerging oak planing board or leaving it raw as you recommend. To be honest I'm quite interesting in seeing for myself how the board is going to behave uncoated throughout the year in Central European climate.
Shannon, I'm sure this was covered in the past but would you mind telling how you came up with the height for this bench? I'm guessing a few inches below your elbow, is that about right?
dericcornflakes I started at elbow height. I built the benchtop first then set it up at a variety of heights and actually worked at it, cutting joints and doing layouts and such. Eventually I did come in just below elbow height so that a typical 4/4 board would land at elbow height. That is what works for me and I highly recommend doing some experimentation to find your personal sweet spot.

Thanks, I have been thinking hard about building one of these. I don't do much big stuff anymore and a spare bedroom for a workshop would be much warmer in the winter and much cooler in the summer. I can do the rough work out in the garage then come inside for comfort. Agree on experimenting for the correct height but was curious as to where yours ended up at. You really have to build these things to suit yourself, no magic formulas imo.
How did you decide how high to build your bench? I am 6' tall and I usually work at 36" tables. I can see a use for this in my limited space shop and would like to build it but I'm not sure how high it should really be.
Guy Jones I built it elbow height but played around with many different heights so your results may vary. Start there and see how you like it
That was what I was thinking as it would keep my forearm level and control my movement better. I will definitely be building one of these benches!
Did you line the inside of the front jaw with anything?
+Darren Watson yes, the leather that came with the Moxon kit
What is the magic 45 degree guide at 19:58?
Its called a miter paring block, you can find more on my site if you search for miter paring block, I did a post on it.
do you have plans for this table?
+Joey Medina not publicly available. It was a project I build in Semester 3 of The Hand Tool School.
Do you have plans that us beginners can work to?

RenaissanceWW thanks, I'm new to your channel and loving it so far. I'll look and see what I find.
Love the bench but your dovetails were a little bit loose. Especially that last one gaps galore
Pretty neat ideas. One thing I would never do is rip a board with a handsaw. I appreciate your skill in doing that, but that's one area where I think a power tool will always be superior to hand tools.
+Renaissanceww hello there. Great video. I would like to know if you would mind me building you joinery bench for a work bench build off. Of course I would give you credit for the design. I just think it would be great to enter something other then the standard types of benches that everyone would be building.
