  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

    A Tailored Suit Printable Tape Measure You Need • A Printer • Scissors • Clear Tape • A Crisp New US Dollar Bill (Any denomination) Assembly Instructions 1. Print the tape measure (see instructions below) 2. Ensure the printed tape measure is accurate by using it to measure a dollar note; a dollar (any denomination) is 6.125 inches in length (give or take 1/16 an inch). If you are off by .125 (1/8) inch or more, ensure you are printing true to size by checking your printing preferences (see below). If you continue to be off by .125 or more, contact us and we’ll ship you a free tape measure immediately. 3. Carefully cut out all 8 pieces of the tape measure. 4. Connect each strip in order as indicated using tape – tape both sides and ensure the overlap is behind the measurement side. Glue can be used in a pinch, but is not recommended. 5. Smaller men do not need to attach the last piece (64 to 72 inches). 6. If you have a ruler or yard stick, use it to check for accuracy. Otherwise, you want to spot check between taped pieces with a dollar note to ensure final accuracy. The measurement tape is ready for use. Adobe Acrobat Printing Instructions The goal here is to print this tape measure true to size. Depending on your version of Acrobat Reader, "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages to paper size" should NOT be checked.
