Bench Bull

[morsa]

After some research and planning, this week I finally made this project, based on the articles by Yoav Liberman that appeared in Popular Woodworking Magazine in December 2015 - January 2016 ('Bench Bull:' The Jack of All Bench Jigs, Part 1 - Popular Woodworking Magazine, ‘Bench Bull’ – The Jack of All Bench Jigs, Part 2 - Popular Woodworking Magazine, ‘Bench Bull’ – The Jack of All Bench Jigs, Part 3 - Popular Woodworking Magazine).

Instead of using 2 x 4 lumber, I reused wood from pallets, which measure 3.5 x 1.5”. The segments were cut at 15, 4 + 4, 10, and 15”; they were sanded and square checked before gluing. The overall length of the fixture is 15” and the height is 6”.

By clamping the bench bull to the workbench you can hold the work piece in a number of manners (hand screw clamps, F-style clamps, bar clamps, C-clamps, pipe clamps, Wonder pups, etc.), with the advantage of working at a more comfortable height.
