Re: Buying vs building tools - the rationale for creating a MFT Table


 

So you have this bench for hand work and the MFT for festool clamps and the like?? That¡¯s nice to have both. Right now I have just an MFT/assembly table. I¡¯d like to build a solid workbench for hand would be great to somehow combine the two.?

Perhaps we should be posting some of the work we do. I don't consider these fixtures to be fine craft. The MFT is really crude work. Fine work is done with hand tools. Here is my work bench. Jarrah base and European Oak top. Recently I added the underbench cabinet. That is a mitred through dovetail case, and filled with "interesting drawers".



I built the cabinet to house hand tools. It was a fun build. All the drawers have multiple compartments, with the exception of this one, which holds mortice chisels ...

Lourens, I would love to see some of your work.
