excellent picture, i have seen sailmaker's benches before, but this is the first carpenter bench that i have seen. i made a bench to use as a ships carpenter and it is close to this one. copied the plan from a wood working book on benches, the plan was a roman saw bench. i made mine with mortise tendon joints and a trussel between the legs so i could knock it down. put work stop holes in the top also a cut out for a hand hold. it 18" high 12" wide and 4'long. have used it to make alot of things on.
