The Maguire 'Workhorse'
Designed to be both extremely rugged and versatile the Maguire ‘Workhorse’ takes inspiration from the 18th century designs of the craftsman Roubo. This workbench is constructed entirely from kiln dried ash and with a top thickness of 90mm and huge 135mm x 88mm legs this is possibly the heaviest bench available on the market today. The base trestles are traditionally jointed with massive drawbored mortice and tenons to create a robust and rack-free under carriage and the top is laminated from full length segments. Two traditional vices have been brought up to date to combine versatile clamping with modern speed and efficiency: The Leg Vice - This face vice offers a large clamping capacity along with speed and simplicity of use. A beautiful hand turned wooden screw gives a fast feed speed and unbeatable grip thanks to the large 62mm thread diameter and coarse two threads per inch pitch. At the bottom two steel roller guides are installed to support the parallel guide and ensure that it always runs smooth. Long work pieces can be clamped in the leg vice and supported along the front of the workbench using the sliding board jack. The Wagon Vice - This discreet tail vice uses a dog block that travels within the bench top to allow pieces to be trapped between two bench dogs, providing a reliable means for holding timber down ready for its face to be worked. Two rows of dog holes enable the full width and length of the bench top to be used. The bench top is constructed in two sections to allow a full length ‘flip stop’ to be included down its centre. This stop can be left flush with the bench top so that it remains un-noticeable when it is not required but within seconds can be flipped over to protrude the surface. Although a simple addition to the workbench this stop has many uses, for example butting work against while using a biscuit jointer or combined with a bench dog can allow you to very quickly plane all of the faces of a board, and is even sturdy enough to support work for scrub planing. This combination of traditional vices teamed with stops and dogs allows the user to find a quick and stable means of holding work of all sizes for a very fluent and satisfying work flow. Set up to take on any task; hand or power, this bench truly is a real ’Workhorse’. A special blend of oils is applied to all benches to give a durable, hard wearing finish and to nourish the wood. Workbench is supplied with two brass bench dogs. Height - 864mm (34”) Length - 2134mm (7’) Width - 610mm (24”) Some assembly will be required; full assembly and usage instructions are supplied. Made to order - approximate delivery is 6-8 weeks from order. Please enquire for delivery costs as these will vary from region to region and country to country. The delivery driver will require assistance off loading as these bench tops are very heavy.

The Maguire 'Artisan'
The Maguire ‘Artisan’ is the ideal companion for the woodworker who often works with wide panels, carcases and drawers. It is a very sturdy workbench with enormous clamping potential. This workbench is constructed entirely from kiln dried ash and has a top thickness of 76mm and 90mm x 88mm legs. The base trestles are traditionally jointed with massive drawbored mortice and tenons to create a robust and rack-free under carriage and the top is laminated from full length segments. The Twin Screw Vice - With 610mm (24”) of space between the two screws this face vice is capable of handling some of the largest work. Wide panels can be clamped perfectly flat for tasks such as cutting dovetails and even fully constructed drawers can be held securely whilst the faces are planed. This vice can clamp at a slight taper if required for uneven work pieces. Two beautiful hand turned wooden screws give a fast feed speed and unbeatable grip thanks to the large 62mm thread diameter and coarse two threads per inch pitch, and both of the nuts can be adjusted to ensure that the vice can always run true. The Wagon Vice - This discreet tail vice uses a dog block that travels within the bench top to allow pieces to be trapped between two bench dogs, providing a reliable means for holding timber down ready for its face to be worked.
