“I am a furniture maker by trade and I specialise in woodworking exclusively with hand tools. Having had an unusually large interest in old workbenches and the traditional ways of woodworking from a young age, I rapidly developed a true passion which now borders upon obsession. I wish to channel this energy in to something positive and so I have developed a range of traditional wooden workbenches which I believe can bring historic methods of woodwork back in to the modern workshop.
As hand tool woodwork requires the ultimate in holding and stability my benches also excel in the modern world of woodworking. Each of my benches is built to the same exacting standards as my furniture and incorporates many of the same traditional woodwork techniques.
Being a furniture maker myself I thoroughly understand the requirements of the workbench. After all, the workbench is the heart and soul of my workshop.” - Richard Maguire
