I’ve been “done” with this project for nearly two weeks at this point, but I feel I should close this out.
Along with the bench, I felt the need to showcase some of my favorite tools.
I plan to update this blog with some of the uses for the gap that I can come up with…

Nice! It’s also the very first time I have ever seen someone hang hand planes on the wall with a magnet strip!

Looks good Lucas, Make Dave keep his hands in his pocket if he comes over there. You’ll have wood curls all over that clean bench…..

Now that is one fine bench. It looks solid enough for anything you wish to do on it.
As for the pieces for the middle gap, I think you must make a coffee cup holder in it. That is a must.

Magnet strips have drawbacks…... especially when sharpening. All the metal shavings stick to the bur…....
Thanks guys for all the comments. I hope to post this as a finished project soon. The bench needs another coat of BLO and some accessories….
I hope to build some more proper saw, plane and accessory holders. HMMM maybe I’ll build a tool box….... in my own fashion. Over complicated and AWESOME!!!!!!
