From the 1907 Tiersot & Cie. tool catalog. While the French workbench is known for its typical tool rack on the back of the benchtop, this is the first time I’ve seen it under the benchtop. The catalog features a lot of very interesting tools and worth downloading from Jeff Burks’ web site here. Warning: I’ve been poring over it for the last two days.
I thought the section on scroll saws wasn’t going to end!!!
I think u should bring Jeff on full time! Great stuff.
Jeff, you should be banned! Your stuff is more addictive than crack cocaine.
what is on top of page 114?
Looks to me like a way to may a continuous loop for the belt or cord that drives the pulleys. Unhook when you need to change pulleys.
It’s a hook for connecting the ends of the leather cords they sold for use on a treadle lathe.
Any hints on finding the main entrance to the site would be appreciated…
There is no index on that file server because it is not a website. It’s just the computer I use to host files online.
Thanks Jeff! I’ve no need for more digital clutter.. but i’d love to wander through those files, after seeing a few items LAP has posted!
Any hints to finding the index for his site would be appreciated…
oops. Sorry about the double post!
It’s like the French, they have a different word for everything…
POW!
Looks kinda like a clockmakers bench I saw once. Smallish bench with four drawers at the bottom and some tools hanging as above. I’m building a small Roubo based on the memory of it. 🙂
Is that the newish Benchcrafted leg vise upgrade on page 86?
I could actually be talked into a tool rack in that location, if it were done thoughtfully.
