Looking for tuning bench drawings...

[Mellow Yellow]

Does anybody have drawings for building your own tuning bench? If so, could you email them to trencharver at yahoo

Thanks

Burton has upgraded the former plastic clamp-ons. Suppose you could mount these to most any work bench

I'm hoping somebody has some drawings of benches they have built... just searching for ideas... I plan to build a nice custom bench next weekend....

A friend built a nice workbench in my garage: with a top almost as large as a sheet of ply, it is sturdy(screwed into the wall) and large enough for anything I need.

Construction is 2x4, ply, and wood screws to hold it all together.

I secured exra carpeting to the top (occasionally, I vacuum it), and there is a full-sized shelf about 8-10 inches off the floor for storage.

EDIT:
Vises mount no problem; The 2" edge of my 2x4s is facing out, flush with the perimeter of the table, with 2x4s (2" side facing up) on edge inside of those. Think of an 'L' beam flush with the underside of the ply.

EDIT: oh yeah ... my workbench can support well over 250 lbs :D

On the warmer and sunny days I move the vises out to my deck. :)
