Instead, the goal of this book (and all my books) is to try to expand the world of ideas when it comes to workholding and bench design.My only true criticism of the ubiquitous European workbench is that it was a virtual monoculture for most of the 20th century. This “Roman” bench form might have gotten its start in Rome. After building a low bench based on drawings from Pompeii and Herculaneum, most visitors to my shop had one question: Were the Romans really short? It was another example of a seemingly simple workbench feature having multiple uses in the shop.Since the publication of “Roman Workbenches” and the Saalburg visit a cornucopia of workbench and workholding ideas have surfaced and are packed into the forthcoming “Ingenious Mechanicks.”If you are still on the fence, undecided or torn about adding “Ingenious Mechanicks” to your library Chris will post a short video later in the week to illustrate some of the features of the workbenches.One of my peculiarities is that I try to complete the writing for a book before the close of the calendar year.

Also, the fact that I needed an extra saw horse, pretty much sold it to me. Any one who uses saw horses for sawing with hand saws, on a regular basis will know that, a bench of this size, will make life very easy for this task, because of large amount of surface area.

(Um, but it might not be working properly based on that last sentence.)

After some thought, I added a pin to the peg, and this solved the problem.

He took notes and Narayan Nayar took photos. I ignore it.When I fit a planing stop, I assume that I’m going to have to adjust it later on if it becomes too tight or make a new one if things get too loose. And in June, Chris and his friends Görge Jonuschat and Bengt Nilsson traveled to the Roman fort at Saalburg to meet with archaeologist Rüdiger Schwarz to study and photograph two extant Roman workbenches.The transformation of the planned expanded version of “Roman Workbenches” into “Ingenious Mechanicks” started in mid-July. Will the stop and benchtop (or both) shrink as they dry? After we published “Ingenious Mechanicks,” the Roman book became somewhat of an orphan.So we are inviting you to adopt it today – free of charge. He had it one of the pdfs I sent but now I was sure he had not yet seen this detail.Was this a wedge in a dovetail- shaped notch?

I used some 6mm string, through one of the dog holes and stood on it. But mostly, I hope this book will open your eyes to the devilishly clever ways you can make a stick of wood behave.The research for this book took me all over Europe. Not long after Chris returned from Italy his limited edition letterpress book, “Roman Workbenches” went to press.

It has a squared notch on the long side of the bench the painting is dated in the same year as the Löffelholz Codex.Two other images of workbenches with the straight-side and square notch have long been known to woodworkers: the Löffelholz Codex from Nürnberg and the guild table from Bolzano/Bozen.Strigel’s painting helps to confirm the presence of the notch on workbenches, at least in this southwestern part of Germany and/or Löffelholz wasn‘t crazy.

Chris went to the shop to try out the theory of the ‘notches and wedges’ on the Saalburg and Holy Roman (Löffelholz) workbenches.The side notches with the wedge in place serve as side stops for traverse planing.On the Holy Roman workbench notches were cut on the end and one on the side.Several weeks before he finished “Ingenious Mechanicks” Chris invited some woodworker friends to a Benchfest. Christopher Schwarz, now of his own publishing company, Lost Art Press, has decided to make his treatise on Roman Workbenches available as a free download. With some trial and error, I've found the bench to be very useful, and there has not been anything i couldn't do on it to date. If the stop becomes almost impossible to move, I remove it and plane it a tad. I wasn’t.Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.If you are having problems with an order, send an email to Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. Half a world away, the Colombia bench had a similar notch and was equally perplexing. Additionally, the Hans Kipferle table tells us that a half-century later the side notch was still in use.If we step back to the time of the Roman Limes Germanicus and the Roman road network you can see another dimension to the European workbenches with side notches: where the workbenches are located.So what happened next? All in all, I would really recommend people to build one.

So grab my hand and start breathing in the following pattern (he-he-hoo, he-he-hoo). Huh.
