When a workbench fits your needs, it’s the best bench out there. Nice job.

if you care what I think about your workbench then you’re wasting your time but just in case you do care – I think it’s great. Joinery and finish are a great thing BUT function and use sometimes are WAAAAY more important.

John,
If it works for you, it works. Don’t worry about how nice it is compared to other benches. This is meant to work!

As others said, it works for you and that is what matters.

Well done. Your design to suit you. use of materials. Start your own file if you have not, you’ll be surprised how many like this you can make. I started with old kitchen cabinets for my bench, then learned to change those. Now I make my own. please see my site for any ideas you might like. Best wishes. Hal
