Pro quality,
compact size.
RAMIA's HOBBY benches are made for smaller workshops and restricted spaces, at a lower price than the PRO range — and many professionals use them anyway. Block-laminated or solid beech tops of 30 mm, two real vices, bench dogs, open shelves, and models that fold, clamp on or grow with a child.

HOBBY Series questions
Which Hobby benches are oiled?
Diamond and Folding are oil-finished at the factory. Advanced, Finish It Yourself, Clever Worktop, Flexible Friend and Kid's 1000 arrive untreated — oil them before first use, or ask ADW to pre-oil.
Advanced or Diamond?
Advanced is fully block-laminated with two rows of up to 31 dog holes. Diamond adds a solid beech top and rear tool well on the same laminated base — RAMIA calls it the Hobby/PRO crossover.
What is Finish It Yourself?
The Advanced-style bench delivered flat-packed and unoiled, so you assemble the top and finish it yourself — the lowest-priced full bench RAMIA makes.
