A modular workbench system that adapts to your tasks, tools and projects.
Introducing the Maker Workstation
A modern workbench designed for woodworkers, makers, and creators
Woodworkers choose from a number of woodworking methods, tools, and techniques. Some favor hand tools, others a mix of hand + power tools. Traditional workbenches are designed for hand tool woodworking. The Maker Workstation is a new kind of workbench designed for woodworkers and makers who work with a range of tools from hand to power — particularly modern tools like routers, sanders, track saws, the Festool Domino joiner, and the Shaper Origin hand-held CNC.
The Maker Workbench, featured in the June 2021 issue of Popular Woodworking magazine article is now available online for FREE. More details, step-by-step construction,, building tips, news and more are being posted at popularwoodworking.com. Links to the series are below.
