This is the original Moravian Workbench that Will Myers based his reproduction workbenches after:
Wkfinetools.com no longer has up the articles on this Moravian workbench. Could they be made available somewhere else?
Will Myers told me that WK ended their website. But I don’t believe that Will ever had a Moravian workbench tutorial there…it was roubo workbench.

This bench looks awesome. I’m keen to follow the course but just want to check before I do if there is a list of tools required to build this?
Hi Evie, thanks! Here’s a video showing the tools for building a Moravian workbench (obviously some are optional): https://woodandshop.com/which-hand-tools-do-you-need-for-building-a-workbench/

Hello, I am wondering if you all use the standard or 2x vise kit from Lake Erie Toolworks on you school workbenches?
Hi Matthew, I use standard, but I know Will Myers has used the 2x and liked it.
Hi Joshua, I think I want to bite the bullet and take on building this work bench as a long term project. Before I buy the video, I wanted to know what sort of wood is recommended? I want to make sure I can source the wood before I start. Cheers.
Hi Richard, you can use a hardwood for the top, stretchers, & wedges (oak, maple, etc.) and a softer / inexpensive wood for the undercarriage (pine, poplar, etc.)
I saw the pictures, can’t afford the video; I’ll just use the general idea, and build a nice bench. I think I will incorporate some ideas from another nice bench I saw. Thanks.
I have a question. In the video the same setting on a mortise gauge is used to mark the mortises and tenons on the vise’s back (tenons) and stretcher and top mortises. However according to the plans the stretcher and top are not coplanar (that is the leg is flush with the top front but the stretchers are shy of the legs and top, so what gives?
Hi Pedro, did you get my email?
I am a subscriber and a own the video. From the video (and the plans) you can tell the long stretcher and the legs are different thickness, in the video you can see the stretcher is not flush with the front of the leg. However the same setting is suggested for the mortise gauge, this would place the tusk tenon off center on its stretcher, Can you clarify please.
Sorry for the delay Pedro. Does this photo clear things up for you?
