Fixing a racking workbench

My Moravian workbench started to rack front-to-back. The cause is a poorly fitted tenon. I fix it with some angle bracing. I also fix the tenon by filling the gap with a thin piece of wood.

I'll admit it, I watched this almost entirely for shots of your Moravian bench. I'm in the middle of mine now. I like your tool rack idea (I'd thought to put one inbetween the tool tray and the slab itself) AND your double shelf; that's sweet. Nice work.

Thanks. Yea the shelves are a pretty natural addition to the Moravian bench frame. Helps add mass to your bench when you load it up with bench planes.

Ok so you have a sweet morav work bench. We (I )need more details on it. Im starting my bench. It looks to me you have inproved the tool tray to hold saw's and ?.

The tool holder is a pretty simple addition--it's basically just a gap in the floor of the tool well. It was an afterthought. I needed some way to store my chisels within arms reach. Before, my bench was up against a wall, so I had my chisels stored on the wall. Now it's against my garage door, so I needed to come up with a solution. The bottom of the tool well is cut about 1/2 to 3/4" narrower than the frame of the tool well. Then I added a shorter board to separate the tool holder from the rest of the tool well. This board is just pinned in place from the sides.

@@brochobo thank you. Makes me think this style of bench is the correct choise for me.
