Sjobergs Nordic Plus Workbench 1450
with Cabinet

This affordable workbench takes up little space in your shop but gives you the size you need to take a small shop or beginner woodworker to the next level. The hard Nordic Birch benchtop is designed for durability, and is supplied with double row holes running from any vise location to provide more flexible clamping. The two vises can be placed in four different positions, so the bench can be used either right or left-handed.
