    I picked these up at an estate sale today, not sure for what purpose they were built? They were in the same room but attached to different walls. 20190427_152850.jpg 20190427_152924.jpg 20190427_152908.jpg 20190427_153301.jpg 20190427_153241.jpg

    Maybe previously bought from a carpentry class environment? 16 stations, 1 or 2 students per work bench? Each station a different task or skill thus the holes (hold tools?) in one but not the other?

    I was thinking the same from a trade school or factory. Dovetails look hand cut.

    They are pretty cool.
