While the little workbench on a shelf was a big improvement it was far from problem free. When chiselling wood I would slowly pull down the shelf, and the stability and size was a constant problem.

So inspired by videos on Youtube I started constructing my own workbench. It was done during last years summer vacation in July.

Our apartment is 56 sqr. meters – so fitting a workshop into the kitchen is an achievement in itself.

It is done using cheap glued up beechwood and can be disassembled. Initially constructed as a table that the small workbench could be mounted and stored on – but I ended up purchasing a real vice on eBay.

Today it has become my almost daily retreat where I create, think, relax – and like now write a post on my blog. When I was a kid I always wanted a small “safe room” where all the things I needed was collected, so I didn’t need to go out in the “dangerous” world. The kitchen woodshop has become that – even though I don’t fear the world (that much) anymore.
