Ingenious Mechanicks
by Christopher Schwarz
Workbenches with screw-driven vises are a fairly modern invention. For more than 2,000 years, woodworkers built complex and beautiful pieces of furniture using simpler benches that relied on pegs, wedges and the human body to grip the work.
While it's easy to dismiss these ancient benches as obsolete, they are - at most - misunderstood.
For the last three years,...

More recently these chisels have become very popular with joiners and timber framers for mortising. The double hoops give...
