Résumé

Workbenches with screw-driven vises are a fairly modern invention. For more than 2,000 years, woodworkers built complex and beautiful pieces of furniture using simpler benches that relied on pegs, wedges and the human body to grip the work.

While it’s easy to dismiss these ancient benches as obsolete, they are – at most – misunderstood.
