Thunder Posted January 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi does anyone own an occre portable workbench and if so could you please provide me with the dimensions. I am particularly interested in the internal dimensions once the build craadle tray has been placed back on top. Also, any thoughts on this piece of kit would be beneficial. Thanks, Adrian Quote Current Build(s): H.M.S Diana 1794 - Caldercraft 1:64 Scale Completed Builds: H.M.S. Cruiser 1797 - Caldercraft 1:64 Scale H.M.

Belco Posted January 24, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2015 Hello: I do not buy it, because I have no place to put it, but you can see some pictures and size on the official website of Occre, are only in Castilian (Spanish) but you can translate it with Google.http://www.occre.com/herramientas/mueble-taller-portatil.html#!prettyPhotoWith pictures, you can get an idea of the size and if practical.regardsBelco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuntherMT Posted January 24, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2015 You can find a nice write up of this workbench in NickvN's Hermione La Fayette build log, starting with this post - http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2649-hermione-la-fayette-by-nickvn-artesania-latina-second-wooden-ship-built/?p=221634 He got it as a gift and shows some very nice pictures and speaks about it during later posts in the logs (within the next page or two, easy to find just scrolling through). Hope that helps out! Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

Mike Dowling Posted January 24, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2015 I had one and sold it on before I constructed it. I think to be honest it is quite an expensive thing for what it is and I couldn't honestly recommend it. Their kits are good though !

Q A's Revenge Posted January 24, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 24, 2015 Looks like quite a nice little workstation. No idea of cost but don't see why laser cut parts like that should be too expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
