Good workbench deal at £100?

It's ok if you didn't want to make one. Would cost you that much in beech + vise?;

 

[Rhossydd]

YES

 

[Hsmith192]

Think it weighs about 100kg and it’s all beech. Hard to find that much material for the price to be fair..

I think it’s a lot smaller? It says it can take 113kg in terms of weight on the bench?

32kg...

Well, I think I’ve been waiting for a beech bench to come up so it’s been purchased, it’s going to be delivered though as I don’t have a van.

Looks good, (joke) I hope it’s not matchbox size!
I do hope I’m wrong but not sure the underframe looks quite strong enough to prevent wracking, but at that price you can afford to build a more substantial one if not. So, great purchase- have fun.

I think it's a decent deal.

You can work out how big it is by counting the blocks in the wall.

2200 x 967, go to Axminster and see if they make that size.

It looks similar to Axminster's current version at £699.

I'd say it's a bargain, can I see the end of a tail vice at the right hand side?

It does look a bit top heavy, I would suggest with the money you have saved you should buy lots of tools and store them in the cupboard below to add a bit of ballast

Hey everyone, thanks I’m having it delivered on the weekend. It kind of looks like this one from Axminster, needs a sanding I think! But after speaking to customer service they said it’s like this one:

It looks similar to Axminster's current version at £699.

I think it’s a lot heavier than that one and longer at 1.9m. It’s good though just need to sand it down and reapply a finish to it.

 

[sammy.se]

it's good! If I had the space/floor suitable for this, I would happily have this.

 

[Sachakins]

Think you've got a bargain there.
Spend time getting the top flat and level first would be my tip.

 

[TRITON]

It looks similar to Axminster's current version at £699.

But with the cupboard fitted the original cost would be 800+

£100 ? Bargain. That will outlast you.

 

[Jamesc]

You definately have a bargain there

 

[Hsmith192]

I’ve called Axminster and it was worth £550 back in 2008. So looking forward to it arriving on the weekend. I’ll take a picture of it and show you guys yeah I will defo start get the top level and sanded, it sounds silly but I’m really excited as I’ve been waiting years for one!

 

[Adam W.]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the piccies.

 

[Hsmith192]

Well it’s here! But it needs moving now! 145kg! Still need to find a way to make room at the top of workshop to spin this around! Thanks everyone!
