workbench diagram
Next the legs get glued to the top. I clamped the legs on first and then when they were square I drilled the holes for the pegs with an auger. I then glued and pegged the straight legs first and let the glue set. Then I drilled the holes for the angled legs next and glued them as well. I made sure my angles were correct and measured the ends of the legs at the inside corners to get an easy reference to use. I used a scrap piece of wood to prop up the angled legs at the correct angles while the glue sets up and the angled legs are clamped. This works well and since its my second saw bench I used some things I learned from putting the first one together. Once the glue was set I took a section of 2x6 and made gussets for the front and rear of the saw bench. I decided to use screws for all the next pieces. I tried to find copper nails and roves locally but I could not find any of the length that I needed. I could have used slotted pegs or pegs but I decided to use screws instead because I thought the screws would hold together the saw bench while the glue finished to dry. These can be totally put together with no glue and if you talk to some people they will argue as to what glue really adds. I think it is just cheap insurance and I have seen these and other things made without. They hold up well for a long time but eventually need the pegs re-worked or new pegs or wedges driven into pegs or new slotted pegs. Who knows maybe I will need to do the same eventually, only time will tell.
Make sure the legs are square before you drill the holes for the dowels.
Mark the auger for the right depth.
Make sure the brace and bit are square while you drill.
The saw benches work great for drilling.
I used Gorilla Glue for this project since they may be used outside but any glue will do or no glue at all. Its up to you. These saw benches will hold together either way.
Driving the pegs.
Checking for square.
Clamping the glue up.
This glue expands and I wipe up what I can and chisel away the dried glue later. In my area I never dampen the surfaces when using this glue. Both the wood and environment are wet enough but if I liver in a dry climate I may have to.
As the glue expands some is driven out of the joints, messy.
Angled legs get propped and clamped to the correct angle.
I measured the legs inner corner to inner corner with the correct angle and kept them the same.
Boring a hole while the leg is clamped and at an angle.
Glue up of angled leg.
Laying out the end gussets. No measurement needed and less chance of errors.
Gusset cut.
Gusset screwed in.
Next time the finishing touches.
