Abstract
A portable workbench including a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs, with a support extending between the legs. A pair of beams extends laterally across the support and provides a work surface. The pair of beams and the support are adjustable to permit the beams to be positioned at a plurality of predetermined spacings relative to each other. Each of the beams has a plurality of spaced vertical axis apertures extending therethrough. A vise member having a mounting shaft extending therefrom which is proportioned to be received through one of the vertical apertures is also provided, the vise including a stationary jaw and a movable jaw together with a screw which extends between the stationary and the movable jaws for moving the movable jaw toward and away from the stationary jaw.
