The solo crisscross mechanism is for installation in new bench construction.
Benchcrafted bench. Extant benches from continental europe always feature a planing stop to resist forces when working the faces of boards. The bench can be built entirely with 8 4 stock if desired. Classic 60 in stock. It is made from cast iron and powder coated in a matte black finish.
The complete bench weighs upwards of 350 pounds. The legs are 3 1 2 thick by 5 3 8 wide with the remaining base elements 3 thick and 1 3 4 thick. The tops are 4 thick by 87 long. These stops were often made from forged metal but in many cases they were shop made from thin sheets of steel or with the most rudimentary method of driving nails through a stick of wood and nipping off the ends.
It does not move under the most rigorous woodworking activities. Benchcrafted crisscross hardware comes three versions.
