Maple bench with Lyptus frame.
Just figured out I can post pics here too! Zowie! What a fantastic place LJ is!
I included one box joint pic that is unglued and unpinned – warts and all. As you can see, they aren’t as tight as I would like. My inexperience for sure here. I had to put some sawdust/glue in to fill the gaps. It turned out ok though, as the pins really made it solid as a rock.
My dad was a carpenter for years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pass via genetics. I didn’t learn the trade from him. I’m slogging through learning as I go. One thing I did learn from him was covering up my mistakes so it ‘looks’ good.
Thanks for viewing and requesting pics.

Ok, here’s the bench and some of the shop. It’s a bit of a mess. I’ve been building the bench in hopes of consolidating all the ‘stuff’ into drawers underneath – when I finish that part that is.

the plan is to move out the table behind the bench and put the bench in that general area.

Ron, this is a nice looking shop that you have. And that is a gorgeous bench that you have added to your shop. Any of us would be proud to have a tool like this to work with.
Your woodworking journey sounds a lot like my own. When I was younger my father, a third generation carpenter, wanted to teach me his trade. But, of course, since I was much smarter then (or so I thought) I really could see no need to learn his “trade secrets”. Like you I am now having to learn it own my own.
Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed touring your shop.

Ron, this is a nice shop and after seeing your blog about the violin I know that you are a man that knows how to use his tools. Congratulations.
