The carving bench

Here is the carving bench, the legs made from Myrtle wood, and the top will be of pine. The 2x10s will be cut to the 32" length you see standing on the floor, then I will slice them to 3" widths. After that I will joint and surface them, and glue them together in batches. I'm going for a 24" wide top, by 32" (or thereabouts) and 3" thick. This I'll mount to the hinges and add a vice on one end.

I haven't worked out a plan to hold it upright at an angle yet. I've seen a couple of methods, but I didn't want to get to far ahead of myself. the topless carving bench

Enjoy, and be careful of the splinters.
