Whaley Woodworks

Whaley Woodworks — home of HDS, the Hold Down System combining dog holes and slots for fast, accurate workholding.

HDS is built into two main products: our portable workbench, designed for workholding anywhere — workshop, van, or site — and our HDS workbench top, built for anyone wanting to build a solid, permanent workbench using the proven hold down system rather than starting from scratch.

Both are engineered for all types of woodwork, joinery, and general workholding, and are compatible with MFT-style setups and popular tool brands including Festool.

Alongside HDS, we’re a working furniture and homeware workshop — designing and handmaking bespoke pieces from reclaimed, recycled and selected woods using our own system. Every product we sell, we use ourselves.
