work bench

Post by luv2knu »

I'd like to know if there are any design plans I can purchase for building a work bench that's used exclusively for paddle carving. :thinking

Shaving bench,

I want to make one of these some day.
It will hold the paddle while you use a spokeshaver.

Although not specific for paddle making, bench plans with a tail vise can be used to hold a paddle vertically during carving/shaping. Dog holes are handy for clamping the paddle to the bench top for planing.
