The carving bench is a tool in traditional, often rural woodworking , on which wood is carved.

description

While a workbench is usually designed as a work table, the worker usually sits lengthways on the bench, which is accordingly also referred to as a cutting ass and carving horse . ( Donkey , buck and farmhand are names that are also used in the craft and farming sector for other holding or carrying equipment.)

The carving bench is used to place and fix wooden workpieces during their processing. It stands on three or four wooden legs. A clamping device (jaw) is generally attached to the long side. This stemmed clamp extends through a recess to the underside of the bench, where it can be moved forwards and backwards by placing one or both feet on a pedal .

The workpieces clamped at the top are often peeled or smoothed with a draw knife , a carving knife with a handle on both sides. Tool handles or other wooden bars as well as shingles can be made, which is why it is also called a shingle bench. Other typical uses are the carving (l) n of barrel staves by the cooper or the production of car spokes by the Wagner . It is advantageous that the worker has both hands free for carving because the clamping device of the carving bench holds the workpiece .

Designations

Other names are Heinzelbank in the Erzgebirge , Hoanzlbank in Flachgau , Pinzgau and in Lower Austria , pull horse , Schnitzelbock , Schnitzelbank , Zugbank or farmer's planer bench .
