RWW 144 No Workbench Needed

It is really exciting to hear from so many new woodworkers just getting started in the craft and starting to work more and more with hand tools.  However I hear from a lot of people who are concerned about getting started without a workbench and concerned they must have a workbench before doing anything.  Now as the owner of 2 very nice workbenches I’m a bit spoiled but it wasn’t always that way.  I worked for many years without a Roubo bench and it is very easy to do with just a few helpful bench appliances.  In this video I demonstrate how these appliances can turn any horizontal surface into a workbench.
