Your workbench is a lovely piece of furniture. Great use of your own fir. Thanks for posting.

-- Jesus is the ONLY reason for ANY season.

Great looking shop cabinet, well done.

-- Style is simple, but not my execution of it.

Hi Wisty;

Great job on this. I agree, drawers are much better than simple shelves, behind doors. Much more convenient

The idea of using the fir tree you cut down for the shop is very fitting!

Very impressive, not sure I’d want to use it in the shop! Great storage!

-- Sawdust looks better in the garage than cars, explain that to your wife!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone… I am using the fir from the trees to do all my cabinets for the shop. Just thought it would be fitting.
The weekend after we had the trees taken down, one of my neighbors mentioned that there was a woodworking show coming up and one of the gents with a wood mill was looking for some trees to mill up. Worked out great as we had 7 logs to do – he ended up doing 5 and 3/4 of them (before hitting a nail and damaging his saw blade) and he did this all for free… worked out great!!! I ended up with a massive pile of fir for the cost of having the trees fallen (about $600)
Below are some images of the trees during the falling stage (you can see how massive they are). I still have the union joint where the main tree breaks out into two trees. I am curious to see what it will look like in slabs with all the branch joints coming out of it…

nice cabinet bench combo….you must have a nice shaper in your shop to make those raised panels

-- If you work you eat - If you don't work, you eat, drink, and sleep.

Actually those came at a cost… lol… I bought a new DeWalt 3 base Router to make those panels… being a rookie woodworker, I managed to burn out the router within about an hour of use… guess I might have been removing too much materials all at once… lol, luckily they took the router motor back and gave me a new one…
I since learned to gradually take away the materials to make the raised panels so the rest that are in my shop were much easier to build and a lot gentler on my router (which is now almost 3 years old and running like new)
I do wish I had a shaper in my shop, but the router and the table I built for it are working just fine…
