A Workbench For Apartment Dwellers That Will Create a Work Area When You Have No Space For One

A Workbench For Apartment Dwellers That Will Create a Work Area When You Have No Space For One


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 ofprojects.

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 actas 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 area might be setup on uneven ground.

A Work Bench Can't Be a Tool – It's a Table, isn't It?

A Work Bench Can't Be a Tool – It's a Table, isn't It?


There is an old saying in the construction business, "don't work harder ... work smarter." I'm not in the construction business, but it seems that Rockwell had this and so much more in mind with their latest labor-saving innovation, the Jawhorse workbench. It has become my favorite tool, and is a combination sawhorse, vise, and work bench that is strong, compact, versatile, and easy to use. It's like having a second set of hands and when working on my projects around the house it saves me a lot of time, labor, and money.

Built out of solid steel, the forty-three-pound Jawhorse work bench is more than just strong. Its powerful clamping jaw can deliver up to a thirty-seven-inch wide, one metric ton squeeze on anything that needs to be held still. The benchplatform itself will hold up to six-hundred pounds of whatever needs to be put on it. If you think that such a powerful device as this would take up a lot of room in the garage or storage shed-nothing could be further from the truth. The Jawhorse, when folded up into its storage position, takes up less area than a dining room chAir when I put it away until my next project.

In addition to being strong and compact, the Jawhorse work bench is extremely versatile and easy to use. Its mighty jaw can hold just about any large object at just about any angle. With a metric ton of jaw-squeezing power, the Jawhorse ceases being "just another tool and actually acts as an extra set of hands that you need when working on difficult projects. With a few easy pumps on thefoot step, the Jawhorse securely and safely holds whatever it is that's being worked. This offers me an extra degree of safety by allowing me to use both hands while operating dangerous power tools. While no tool is perfect and it will take some time for me to discover all its uses, the Jawhorse is built to last and, I'm convinced will serve me faithfully for years to come.

One last thing about this amazing work bench, it is very affordable for everyone. In fact, the Jawhorse is a money-saving tip. Having one will allow you to do Jobs that you would have needed help with or had to outsource. Projects that I would have never attempted before are now possible.
