I am relatively new to woodworking, and don't have a proper workbench. Whenever I read online about woodworking, apparently the first thing you must have is a proper workbench. What are the benefits of having a proper workbench?
Currently I do have something that is kind of a bench. It's a cheap $24 craftright bench n vice from Bunnings. (http://ift.tt/1scFQ6e). It seems to do the job for helping me hold wood to cut or to hold pieces of wood for me to hand plane.
Last weekend I was pondering buying some wood to put together a basic workbench, but I realised I couldn't think of why I would need one as I've been able to get by quite fine using the bench n vice. So for now, I decided to wait and think about it before spending it on the workbench.
I do all my woodworking with hand tools and so far haven't had any issues with hand planing or cutting wood with the bench n vice and a simple bench hook on a small desk.
Are there any projects that require a proper workbench or that would be difficult to build without one? I guess I'm trying to find some justification for me to spend the money to make a workbench and if it's really necessary.
Thanks.
Tim.
