  • Looking for either a Veritas or DICTUM Sculptor's Bench with Carving Support

    I am looking for either a Veritas woodcarving bench or DICTUM Sculptor's Bench with Carving Support. I feel like I have looked everywhere on the ole interweb and can't seem to find one. Anyone have a suggestion how I might locate and purchase one of these benches. Also if any of you are currently using one of them I would love your thoughts on the good and bad of your experience with them. Thank you in advance!

    Lee Valley has Veritas but I think there are better options for less money.

      I don't know what you are searching with, but I get a ton of hits. Looks to me like my work mate fold-able table does the same thing. So are you just wanting product reviews? Just curious.

        You haven't said what type of carving you do (or plan to do). I have been carving for 75 years and have never had more than a sturdy table to which I clamp my projects. I do mostly large reliefs.

          The expensive carving benches and vice tools are far less important than the talent and practice.I refer you to Grinling Gibbons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinling_Gibbons , back in the time when most sculptors made their own benches.
