It actually looks quite reasonable to me. And would have been pretty
expensive new.

Unless you're just having a go about ads on here.

Bloody expensive new.

It would have been home-made, I guess - however, it's now
only fit for kindling. The vice isn't much cop, either.

Yeah, but do you think I'm going to make anything other than disparaging
remarks ?

Expensive new? it's home made with a sheet of 1" ply and scaffolding boards
for the work surface. Judging by the damadged cross member it was screwed
together and not jointed.

Looks like a thoroughly proper and well made traditional workbench to
me.

I agree, but when I last looked the price was GBP25, IMO much too high.

That's how work benches were made a few years ago.

It needs some repairs to bottom shelf, see second picture.

Knocking down with a hammer and another nail would do it. Well done that man
that recognized the cost of a similar one new.

It's worthless now, though.

================
The vice alone is probably worth more than the current bid. Minor repair to
the bottom rail and / or shelf wouldn't cost much. The only snag is the
delivery cost if you're a considerable distance away from the seller.

Cic.

If you need a bench and if the vice is OK this could worth having. It
was obviously well made and solid originally. You might be able to turn
the top pieces. I'd make the well lower - to depth of tea mug or jack
plane on it's side. The right hand frame looks a bit decrepit - damp
has expanded the boards and might have forced the tenons out of the
mortices - could be put back if not broken.
£20 if you live near enough?
