In Reply to: Carvers bench?? posted by Ken P on October 19, 2001 at 13:06:52:
: Would plans for a carvers bench. the type I am searching for is one that the carver sits on. The stock is clamped and held by a foot treadle device. These are used commonly by carvers using a drawknife.
: Any help would be appreciated....
Try here. I've made 3 now using mainly waste wood. An old bed frame formed most of the present one. Soft gives a better grip without marking. I mainly use mine to hold spoons.They are very handy but you need to work with one to decide on tune-ups for your own use. I use a larg bolt for the main pivot.
