Workbench Project #5: Short but sweet entry

« Part 4: Jointed top complete! Part 5 of Workbench Project series no next part

Finally got the final pass done on the bench. You can see the zig-zag lines all over from the router’s bit. I got a nice flat bottom bit, but you’re going to be going against the grain at SOME point, so you’ll still get a little bit of fuzz to deal with.

I got out the 120 grit discs and the sander, and went to work. Switched over to 180 and then 220, and got it nice and shiny.

That was enough work for one day!

It looks great! What is the thickness? My 3 layer mdf top has served me fairly well, but I’m about ready to construct a new top like yours.
