Hello, and thank you for looking at my auction. This auction is for ONLY the workbench, no other items or tools pictured. This is an absolutely gorgeous continental/Scandinavian/Germanic Workbench. It appears to be contrasting woods in either beech and Walnut or Cherry. I honestly can't quite tell. This is not an accident, as the motif is carried through the entire design including the legs and the stretchers. I wouldn't dream of selling it, except for the fact that my garage is too small to accommodate the 38 inch width of the shoulder vise protrusion. I thought I could make it work, but turns out, I can't! I was able to clean up some of it to show how beautiful the wood looks, but I can''t even get around it to do the other side!
Downsides:
two of the feet sustained mild damage during moving.
The One large dovetail holding the shoulder vise protrusion has popped out a bit. It was in a covered (but not damp proof) environment for a while before I got it, and while the other dovetails have settled back in from a swollen condition, this one has not.
Someone took a belt sander and made a divit in the top, as pictured. Looks to be about an eighth.
One of the leg support pieces came unglued and needs to be re-glued. I don't really have the room to work on it, or it would be already. The bottom support pieces of the legs should also be re--glued as they have started to separate.
The shoulder vise works, but is a little loose, the Tail vise needs two pieces re-glued to function properly. The screw is mobile. Both screws are metal.
If you wish to schedule a viewing, or have any questions, please contact me ahead of time.
This is PICKUP ONLY in Poughkeepsie, NY. The top is loose and lifts off, and I can help load, but I can't load it myself. It is simply too heavy.
