Building The Holtzapffel Workbench #3: Update on the base

Lookin’ good!

-- Eric at http://adventuresinwoodworking.com

So far so good. I am surprised that you weren’t on such an adrenaline rush from working on this bench that you simply forgot about the Superbowl.

I guess we must have our priorities in life.

Besides you can’t rush good craftmanship.

Mike,

I am really anxious to see how this turns out. It looks like the edges of your stock are really crisp and square. I would recommend easing all of the edges with a slight roundover, they will wear better.

Todd – yes the edges are still “hard”. I plan to chamfer them before I assemble the base.

Eric – Thanks. I’ve been enjoying your blog. Keep it up.

Scott – Yes being in the shop would be perfect, but watching the Super Bowl and surfing woodworking sites is a close second :).

I’m with the rest…looking forward to more!
