Ken Vaughn's Workbench Accoutrements

May 09, 2004 5 Replies

With all the background noise in the group of late, it's nice to see that Ken Vaughn is still around and still contributing from his valuable store of woodoworking knowledge.



Having recently completed Das Bench. I'm in the Accoutrements phase of this project. Ken's bench and it's accoutrements are a wonderful source of great ideas. Well worth checking out if you're making a workbench or have one and want to extend its functions.

accouterments or accoutrements Outward forms of recognition; newby drewling: Shop,Bailey Planes, work bench, garndchildren, and other accoutrements signaling great wealth.

Thanks for sharing Charlie. Certainly an inspiration for new woodworker.

Nice Shop Ken!!

Thank you Charlie for the kind words. Yes, I get a little tired of all the non-woodworking chatter on the "wreck", but I keep coming back. I'm still just an intermediate woodworker with 40 years of experience, or is that 1 year of experience 40 times.

Thanks Charlie, and thank you Ken

I just finished an hourlong walkthrough of Ken's website (when I should be studying for my CFA Part II in less than a month) that gave me at least a half dozen ideas on how to improve my shop.

Great website; anyone who hasn't visited needs to take a look. I am always amazed at the experienced craftsmen who have built their amazing shops around six inch jointers, portable planers, and contractor saws (with stamped steel wings no less) when so many of us out there think the only answer to upgrading our shops is buying bigger and more powerful tools.

humble AND a sense of humor - a model for other Wreckers to emulate.

Thanks for hanging in there through the recent flame wars.

And the other Old Hands and Galoots - come back - please!
