We have this Melhuish bench recently arrived from the UK and we intend on making a dozen examples in walnut, black cherry and mahogany. This is an original English workbench cabinet, circa 1895 made by Richard Melhuish and Sons... The bench has instantaneous grip vice, rising bench stop and straight edge,brass fittings and hardware two side cabinets and toolholding folding lid and built in hinged board jack. I am told there are only three examples around. They are extremely rare indeed. The idea that you could have a woodworking bench with all the tools needed in such a compact area and looking like a piece of dining room furniture is amazing.
