Frustrated with pipe-clamp holders tipping over as he worked, Paul Amberg came up with some ingenious flip-up supports for his workbench. Upright and ready to go when you need them, folded down and out of the way when you do not, these pipe-clamp supports add versatility to any workbench.

When a project requires thin stock, our portable planer saves us the time and trouble of having to special-order material. But, having to lift it onto my workbench every time we need it can be a backb...
The perfect size for smaller tasks, this handy bench rolls, and then stays, wherever you need it most.
Clamp it to your workbench or drill press and you have the perfect cleaner-upper. Or, set it on the floor and sweep in the debris for easy pick up.
Here is a rock-solid solution to stock support that mounts to a workbench or add legs for a stand-alone support. Easy height adjustability makes it a versatile addition to your shop.
Whenever I clamp a wide panel or long board to my workbench on edge for sanding or planing, I need a way to support the other end. So I built this simple bench vise helper, as shown in the photos to the right. It is easy to make and allows me to support panels up to three feet wide.
Quick and easy to build, this simple workbench offers plenty of wide-open space for additional storage beneath the 1Â inch thick work surface. To keep it simple, we used 2x4 and 2x6 stock for the base and sheet goods for the top.
Recently, I was building the Cottage-style dresser featured in the June 2002 issue of Workbench. To dress-up the drawer fronts, I wanted to use small strips of half-round molding. The trick was trying to position the strips on each false drawer front so that they aligned from one drawer to the next.
When clamping a workpiece in my workbench vise with bench dogs, I find that the small, metal dogs can leave marks on the edges of the piece that are tough to sand out.

You only need to run a flex hose from a 4 inch side port to the tool creating all that dust, whether its on the stand itself or if its already set up somewhere in your shop. A debris separator, effective air filter and mobile work surface all rolled into one. Invest a weekend in building this simple glued and screwed plywood cabinet outfitted with a low cost dust collection blower and you are ready to stop big and small sawdust particles. Dust settles in the large pull out drawers at the bottom of the cart. The ingenious design separates the big chips from the small dust particles.
You will sand your projects fast and effectively with this easy-to-build, stow-out-of-the-way cart. It features a PVC arm that keeps the sanders power cord and vac hose out of your way. A tool-triggered switch powers on and off a low-dough vac stored on board. To make the project as easy to build as it is to use, and to save time, build the no-nonsense drawers using metal sides with built-in slides sourced in this step-by-step plan.
Short on work space? Try this compact project. Spread the legs for a stable support when cutting bulky pieces of sheet goods. Then, simply fold it up and stow it away for use later.

Before designing this workbench, we talked to numerous woodworkers to determine what features they wanted. With your recommendations in mind, we designed this sturdy work center. Our bench has a base ...
Outfit your mitersaw or mortiser with easy-to-build extensions that provide workpiece support and feature a sliding stop. The tool platform and extensions easily adapt to any mitersaw or mortiser. If you own both a mitersaw and mortiser, you can build one pair of extensions to serve both machines. The tool platforms and extensions quickly clamp to your workbench and stow out of the way when not in use. One sliding stop for each machine fits both right and left hand extensions. Stop distance from the center of the tool ranges from about 36 to 60 inches.
This was my first pattern, made when I was just learning to use a coping saw and bit and brace and was too small to reach the top of the workbench! Cut from 3/4 inch pine. Round over all edges and leave natural or stain as desired. Stain is better than paint because the gun can be stained again when it gets nicked and dented. Beginner skill level using a scrollsaw.
Since my workbench is in the middle of the shop, there is not an electrical outlet nearby to plug my power tools into. And trailing an extension cord across the floor is a safety hazard. So I decided to hang a strip of outlets above the bench.
