Benchcrafted Classic Leg Vice Base Hardware
In the 19th and early 20th century, many vocational schools and commercial shops in France and its colonies were outfitted with Roubo-style benches and metal leg vice hardware. French hardware is typically made entirely of metal, whereas hardware from Britain and America usually features a T-shaped iron casting fitted with a sliding wooden handle. Benchcrafted designed theirs around the French model...

Benchcrafted Classic Tail Vice (Wagon Vice) Kit
Clamping work to a bench surface between dogs is a very old technique. The historical record gives us examples as far back as the Roman era, but most woodworkers know the tail vice from the modern Scandanavian and German tradition. The oldest detailed drawings we have are from the early 16th century by German author Martin Löffelholz.
The Benchcrafted Tail Vice uses a pair of either wooden or metal...

Benchcrafted HiVise + Mounting Screw
Taking cues from early French prototypes (commonly referred to as an "etau(x)" which is simply the French word for vice) Benchcrafted have gone a few steps further and made improvements and refinements over the historical versions. The body of the vice is designed to be much stronger, yet more compact with its inset arms and single clamping screw for attaching the vise to a workbench or table. The...

Benchcrafted HiVise Mounting Screw
The mounting screw is designed for the HiVise to make it ultimately more portable. The HiVise can be made with either a tail vice cleat or a benchtop batten, but having a mounting screw will allow you to use it in multiple positions around your bench, or anywhere outside the workshop where you are allowed to make a mess!
Anticipating the varied needs of woodworkers Benchcrafted designed the HiVise...
Benchcrafted Swing Seat - Hardware Only (no wood)
The Benchcrafted Swing Away Seat is the solution for seated work at the bench. Chopping waste between dovetails, making decorative inlay and other close work is best done from a steady, seated position. The work is brought closer to your eyes and chest, which helps you to work more precisely and comfortably. It's also a great spot to take a break, check email, or have lunch.

Benchcrafted Drawsharp

With the Benchcrafted Drawsharp, the cutting edge is facing away from your body and fingers, the honing action is parallel to the blade, and your fingers are safely behind the cutting edge at all times.
If you've shied away from using drawknives because of sharpening, the Drawsharp will open the door to this wonderful tool, whether you’re a chairmaker, or looking to add the drawknife...
Accessories for the Benchcrafted Drawsharp
Rehab kit
Most knives will be in good enough condition to use the abrasives included with the Drawsharp. But for those which require more aggressive material removal (removing knicks or severely blunted edges) or for those who may not want to grind their knife, Benchcrafted offer a rehab kit with medium and coarse diamond abrasives. The kit includes two sleeves and two each of coarse and medium diamond...
Benchcrafted Benchmakers Hardware
Typical captive nut arrangements for knockdown bases involve either a square nut, recessed hex nut, or short, slotted cross-dowels. All of these fasteners make it tricky to assemble the joint without some frustration or extra tools.
The BenchCrafted barrel nuts and end cap barrel nuts are the ideal choise for making knock-down joints in workbench bases.
The set of 4 zinc-plated steel Barrel Nuts are...
Benchcrafted Crubber
Crubber is a composite material made by grinding natural cork and rubber, then combining the materials under great pressure to form a tough, resilient, grippy matrix that is then sliced into sheets. Crubber has become BenchCrafted's favourite non-slip, super-grip material for lining vice jaws. All Benchcrafted vices are outfitted with Crubber.
What's the advantage over suede or other cow skin-type...
Benchcrafted Planing Stop
The Benchcrafted planing stop is made from mild steel. The teeth are milled into the stop then lightly deburr with abrasive paper to maintain the points of the teeth. The stop arrives sharp and ready to use.
Easy Installation
Using the same principle as their Barrel Nuts, the Benchcrafted Planing Stop mounts to the wooden stock via two machine screws and a single, double-tapped barrel nut. This provides...

Simply follow the measured drawings and instruction notes.
