Using this vintage European workbench is easy. Just place your woodworking materials on it and start your project. You can use the side and front vices to hold your workpieces firmly in place. When using the vices, make sure to tighten them gradually to avoid damaging the wood. For maintenance, keep the workbench dry to prevent the wood from warping. You can wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the surface to prevent scratches. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them up with a suitable tool. This workbench is a classic, so take good care of it and it will serve you for many years.
