Clamp-On Woodworker’s Station!

Many people, like us, use our shop space for more than woodworking. So, tools need to do double duty. This easily made shop tool allows you to do several woodworking tasks at a standard work table.

Michael Pekovich is a prolific woodworking writer and instructor. He is a part of the Fine Woodworking magazine publishing team and is regularly featured in that publication.

You can check them out at www.finewoodworking.com. If you are interested in taking your craft to the next level while being exposed to world-class instructors and having a wide range of topics and skill levels, this is one of the “gotta-haves!”.

The other publication is Woodsmith®. You can check them out at www.woodsmith.com.

Mr. Pekovich created a clamping fixture like a mini woodworker’s bench. Once this simple device is clamped to a work table, wood stock can be clamped in a variety of ways and orientations, allowing the wood to be planed, sawn, and shaped.

Originally designed to make demonstrations on the road more convenient, it’s now found an ongoing place in Pekovich’s shop.

DirtFarmerJay recently built a pair of these great tools - one for typical thickness stock and the other for more robust pieces. DFJ will take you through the basic process, and show you just how handy these can be - at a very reasonable price and moderate time investment - in your shop.
