ABSTRACT:
A versatile work bench. Throughbores are formed in the bench top and a captive nut is positioned in a countersink associated with each throughbore on the bottom surface of the bench top. Clamping boards are similarly provided with throughbores and captive nuts positioned in countersinks. Clamping tools that include a hand-rotatable handle and a screw that rotates in response to rotation of the handle may be employed to clamp workpieces between the bench top and the clamping boards. Clamping wedges that also include a throughbore and a captive nut may be tightened by clamping tools to wedge together workpieces disposed in edge-to-edge relation to one another. Turnbuckles and straps may be used to interconnect the bench top and clamping boards when large workpieces are to held atop the bench top. Large flat items may be held on their edge on the bench top by a mounting block and an arrangement of turnbuckles and straps. Router guides, templates, drawing boards, cantilevered drill bit holders, and other useful structures are also provided.
