Mini Workbench Part 3 — Vise | ||
KAPOW 2022 Week 40 | Woodworking | October 23, 2022 |
KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week |
Part Three of the mini workbench build: I added a removable vise. Removable means that the vise and legs can be un-bolted and exchanged for the feet seen in Mini Workbench Part 2 — Legs and Feet
Note: The bench is still not final sanded and the dog holes are not drilled.

On a glorious sunny (and smoky!) mid-October day at Mount Rainier….I took a picture the ‘other way’ of the Nisqually River valley and the rest of the Cascades.
For context, here is a complementary picture of the mountain.

Box Lid | ||
KAPOW 2022 Week 37 | Woodworking | October 2, 2022 |
KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week |
This week I made a lid for a box I made several years ago that did not have a top. The original box was intended to be a six-pack holder, but a slight miscalculation made it so a six-pack did not fit in it. It became a topless box. After last week‘s unfinished box it seemed like a good idea to work on a totally different box.
The original box was made from zebra wood. I used olive wood for the new lid. Before staining they matched quite well….they are somewhat different after the stain.

I made most of a box. Ran out of time. Got sidetracked on other projects. Someday I will finish it. It looks like it will be a good one.

Mini Workbench Part 2 — Legs or Feet | ||
KAPOW 2022 Week 35 | Woodworking | September 18, 2022 |
KAPOW = Kevin’s Art Project of the Week |
In August, I completed the first part of a mini workbench made from reclaimed teak. KAPOW 2022-Week 31. This week I added some legs and feet to the workbench (also) in teak (not reclaimed). The legs and feet are attached with threaded inserts and bolts. They are removable—stayed tuned for Mini Workbench Part 3 for a vise that attaches with a different set of legs.
Note: The bench is still not final sanded and the dog holes are not drilled.
