While I'm waiting for the book to come out, I've decided to tackle Ron Herman's saw bench. I took some pictures of it at the woodworking show back in October. In his saw sharpening class he said that it was built to fit him and should we attempt one of our own, we should build to suit too. It's actually a cross between a saw bench and a work bench--It's got dog holes drilled in it to accommodate bench clamps.
Recently, Popular Woodworking published a picture of Ron's bench in anticipation of a new video they are working on with Ron. I roughed out a Google Sketchup drawing of it on Friday, and bought some dimensional lumber (yellow pine) yesterday and started work. May's going to be a busy month outside of the woodshop, but I should have some pictures of my version of Ron's bench soon.
