great news, my fellow appreciators of fine craftsmanship of wood working and work benches... I just learned that Henry O Studley had an impressive workbench, which hasn't been hidden away and forgotten








if you're new around here, and don't know what the hell I'm talking about when mentioning Studley's tool chest, it's this MASTERPIECE that's been blowing my mind since 2006:


Click on that for full size, it's stunning

  1. That has to be the most beautiful work bench I have ever seen.
    It's amazing to me that as popular as his tool chest is that no one else has ever showed this bench as far as I know of.
    Thanks!

    1. Exactly, I've been nuts for his tool chest for 14 years, and only yesterday did I even learn he had this work bench. Stunning. I'm going to try and find more about it in the future.

  2. This gentleman was definitely well named. The workbench is too good to use. I see a Masonic symbol in his tool chest, interesting.
