Work bench

A combined workbench and seat used by the clogmaker when making the leather uppers for clogs. The left side is a workbench divided into four compartments to hold leatherworking tools, leather, nails and fittings. On the right side is a seat. The compartments have been made of assorted strips of wood nailed into the top surface of the bench. The workbench has been made of two boards joined together, with four legs fitted into them using mortice and tenon joints. On the underside beneath the compartments is a small recess with a metal strip across it, screwed into place. Small nails and tacks have been hammered into top surface of the workbench and seat.
