The carpenter's bench

 

Of robust and heavy construction, that it does not vibrate under impacts produced while working on it, consists of four legs supporting a big top.

It's equipped with two vises, the left, called "front vise", and the right called "end vise", which is essentially a parallel vice.

The top has equidistant holes for the accommodation of arrests spring also known as "dogs" or "crab", that serve to fix the workpieces on the bench by means tail vise; is generally made of a hard and compact wood,   such as common oak, hornbeam and downy oak.

It's a portable stand with adjustable pegs, used to hold the ends of the boards too long to be supported with only a bench vise.
