Wow, you are in trouble now… Just wait, after your wife or girlfriend sees your new bench, it's going to be harder to make furniture that's better looking than your bench! You've got your work cut out for you now. LOL

Very, very nice workbench! Almost too nice to call it a workbench :) Is that front Veritas vice a current production model?

Nice Job :) may I Make a suggestion of adding a ramp or ramps to at least one end of the tool tray to minimize frustration of getting small tools out :) this is a small plus to add to an already excellent project

take care

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Feedback from other woodworkers is the best kind, as is their compliments. Thank you.

Hal, this is my first project strictly for me that I've ever built. My Wife and clients get the rest. :)

RonWen, the front vise is a Veritas Tucker, discontinued early 2009. Pressure Lee Valley for its re-release.

Sawblade1, the tray has a floor hole and cove molding around the bottom corner for easy cleaning. Also, the tool tray absorbs expansion, so an end ramp wouldn't work.

Ike, unfortunately I didn't have the camera the day I made the vises so I had to make do with a written description of the desecration of the Twin Screw. If you'd like to know more please ask.

Sean, my Joe Dog made to fit my coffee cup, but it will hold any liquid you want. :)

Thanks for your interest, everybody.
