The Iron Hand

 

Early American Carpenters Bench

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Robert Pell-Dechame's Father's Bench

 

The bench is over 10 feet long. It is a 2-board top with one being very think and the other being thin. The top is made of maple. It's being shipped from Ticonderoga, New York.  It will need a little work. I can't wait for its arrival. This traditional bench will get a traditional vise. I can't believe I'm saying this, no Emmert here.
