Fig. 1.
[Fig. 1] shows the double bench equipped with rack, cam and quick acting vises, with the locker for the general tools and four drawers on each side of the bench with tools for the use of the individual student. Carpenters’ benches are usually about 33 inches high, while cabinet and pattern makers’ benches are from 2 inches to 4 inches higher.
The careful workman as a rule takes great pride in the condition in which his bench is kept; so the beginner should see that his immediate surroundings are kept in a neat, workmanlike manner, and with everything in proper place.
