I had a reason to use the portable Moravian Bench in the back garden last week. I figured while I had it out it would be a good time to change its storage location in the shop. This also allowed easy measurement of floor space required and a photograph of the bench stored.
Moravian in its new spot:
The spot is ~19" deep and just under 22" wide, if my math is close that comes to ~2.8 sq'.
If I didn't work wood I wouldn't know I needed a portable Moravian bench, but I do work wood so I know how handy and easy to store, carry, set up and break down a Moravian bench is. Knowing what I know, even if I never build anything out of wood again but lived in a house or apartment I can not imagine living without my Moravian.
Almost as easy as a "WorkMate" but an order of magnitude better and more useful.
BTW, if I ever build another it will have a BenchCrafted metal screw with the 14" crisscross for the vise. The BC system takes less room and I think lighter than a wood screw with guide plus is just slicker than snot.
Not long till we leave for Summer on the Oregon coast.
See you on down the road,
