work bench

Came out really nice. Next time buy the planet first. You probably have arms like the hulk now :)

Actually, my first plan was to hand plane each of the 15” wide laminated blanks somewhat close with my hand plane, then run each section through our Stetson and Ross mills planer, then bring the three together once all smooth. But not long after planing, I realized it could be done all by hand, and kinda fun too:) I would recommend a good quality hand plane though:)

Very well done. I truly like the addition of that shelf just under the top and the drawers. I’m sure to use some of your ideas when I start my bench. Hopefully in the near future.

Happy to post more photos if need be:)

Very professional looking, would be proud to own that, well done sir!

Excellent Bench, and looks like a sweet shop too

What’s the actual thickness of the top? Because of the color difference, it’s hard to tell whether there’s a skirt around the top or not.

‘Tis very nice, I like the added chest on the bottom shelf.

Nice Bench! Looks like it weighs a ton!
