Recently my wife and I moved into an apartment after having a home for many years. With the house went my shop area, workbench, and my ability to accomplish even a minor remodeling effort like bookshelves. We no longer had a garage – just a car port parking space.
I’m not a woodworking hobbyist (although if I were it would be sheer agony to not have a work area), but I have usually undertaken small fixer-up projects around the house just to keep from having to hire someone or buy it new.
I thought it was going to cost me a lot when my wife asked if we could build a partition between the kitchen and the living room. But then she bought me this Jawhorse workbench for Christmas. This thing is awesome! It has re-established my ability to take on all kinds of projects.
My natural inclination was to dismiss a portable workbench that folded-up for easy storage. It solved my lack of space problem, but it didn’t look like a workbench and was it going to be able to handle anything that required some real pounding and weight load. Then I discovered the power of the Jawhorse – the jaws. What essentially is a glorified sawhorse becomes a great workbench due to the gripping power of these jaws.
There are a number of other accessories for this workbench. From a plywood jaw accessory attachment to a welding station accessory attachment the enhancements allow the Jawhorse to become a very versatile work partner The jaws have patented padding to prevent the damage you would get from gripping something tightly in a vise and act as a second pair of hands that hold everything perfectly steady.
I was able to set up my work area in the car port and in the driveway area. And the Jawhorse has wheels so I can roll it out of people’s way. Needless to say my wife got the partition and I got back the ability to do my own fixer-up projects again.
It is really unsafe to attempt using power tools without a safe work area. The Jawhorse eliminates this worry by providing a sturdy workbench that is stable even when the setup area might be on uneven ground.
There are many people that have the same space problems that I’ve encountered. The Jawhorse workbench is the solution. Be sure to click the link below to see the top 5 reasons other owners think of this workbench as an indispensable tool.
