Thanks For The Memories, Geoff Brown!
Few vendors in Woodcraft’s history have been as colorful or as long-standing as Geoff Brown of Sjöbergs. In May [2016], Woodcraft held its 19th National Sales Conference and Vendor Trade Show in Columbus, Ohio, and Geoff Brown has attended every one of them. Geoff and Yvonne, his wife of 55 years, announced their semi-retirement at this year’s event.
Saint Bernard Service Dog Aids Woodworker
After our Woodcraft Magazine blog on the Wheelchair Woodworking Shop, we were contacted by Carl Smith, a disabled woodworker who uploaded his handmade workbench photo to our Woodcraft Facebook page. The bench has a built-in grate area to catch the shavings from his Jet lathe with bed extension. After some commentary back and forth, and a phone call or two, we were fortunate to learn about Carl and his story.

Think about bench dogs before buying
For some reason this bench has 1" dog holes when most after market products are 3/4". The ones available for 1" are limited, heavy and clumsy. There is no good reason for the hole to be this size. Think about it before buying.

Well worth the money!
It is a good investment for me. It is durable, stable and well built. I have no complaint.

Perfect for my shop
I have a rather small shop,well it's long and narrow. 36ft long by 12 ft wide,everything is on wheels, incuding this bench. It is just the right size for my shop and I especially like the fact that I can sit down and work as opposed to standing all the time. While putting it together, I could not believe the fit. Every piece fit just perfect. I gave it another coat of linseed oil/mineral spirits. The drawers are wonderful for all my delicate stuff,like calipers and digital everything these days.I would recommend this bench to everyone,especially with a smaller shop.Using this bench ,I make just about anything,from small furniture to basinets,boxes,tables,etc. Can't say enough good things about this bench.Thank You Sjobergs and your duo bench cabinet combo. Sincerely, Paul V.

Excellent work bench
Excellent solid wood construction. All pieces assembled easily and fit well. The assembled bench is sturdy and doesn't flex even under pressure, like planing.

Solid and well Made
This bench is versatile, it offers left or right hand options for the vises, multiple clamping, and is solidly made. Will handle most projects for the home owner.

Great bench
I had originally wanted the elite 2500, [...] I "settled" for this one. I have no regrets. It's a solid bench and will suit my needs as a relative beginner just fine. The additional cabinets are well made with smooth drawers. Also, it is very nice to look at. So much so that my wife let me set up shop in the living room so I can watch TV while I work. It has a very nice golden oiled appearance and is finished very smooth. I love it! If I had to find a fault it would be that it could have been packaged a little better. Some of the parts were loose which chipped one of the legs. I was able to hide the chip on the back side, so no worries. Woodcraft was easy to order from [...]
