Carpentry/Workbench

Many people work at some sort of workbench.

In addition to building workbenches for other kinds of work, occasionally a woodworker builds a woodworking workbench for another woodworker. This is reminiscent of the way every blacksmith receives his first set of iron tongs from some previous blacksmith. (See tongs).

While many forms of carpentry must be performed "on site", many carpenters have a workshop including a workbench.
