Workbench for the Amateur: Mortised Maple Frame, Two-Board Top, Side and End Vises (Boy Mechanic, 1913)

A full-size woodworking bench from The Boy Mechanic (Popular Mechanics, 1913), "suitable for the amateur woodworker" and made "by anyone who has a few sharp tools and a little spare time": a mortise-and-tenon frame of birch or maple bolted with lag screws, a top of a 2 in and a 1 in board, a side vise and an end vise on square slides, and a back board. All sizes are the book's. It stands 36 in high, 80 in long and 24 in deep.

Read The Boy Mechanic

"If the stock is purchased from the mill ready planed and cut to length, much of the hard labor will be saved."

Make the lower frame

Cut tenons on the side and end rails and mortise the posts to take them. Fit them together and fasten them securely with 3/8 by 5 in lag screws through the posts into the rails, as the drawing shows.

Fit the crosspieces and top

Screw the 1-1/2 by 3 by 24 in crosspieces to the tops of the posts, countersinking the heads (or bore the top boards to clear them). Fasten the front, 2 in top board to the crosspieces with lag screws from underneath; screw the 1 in top board down from the top.

Screw on the end pieces, countersinking the heads at the vise end. Cut 2 in square holes in the 1-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 10 in piece for the side vise slides and fit it in place, and cut square holes in one end piece for the end vise slides.

Fit up the two vises

Screw the 2 in square slides (guides) to the two clamp front pieces, countersinking the heads so they are clear of the hands. The clamp screws should be about 1-1/2 in diameter, bought at a hardware store. Fit a block under the crosspiece to hold the end vise's nut. With the slides in place, bore the holes for the clamp screws and fit them.

History and honest limits

From **The Boy Mechanic, Volume 1: 700 Things for Boys to Do**, edited by H. H. Windsor, Popular Mechanics, Chicago, 1913 (Project Gutenberg #12655), "A Workbench for the Amateur". All sizes and the fastening are the book's; it names no oil, so boiled linseed oil is ours, as are the metric figures.
