Great saw bench!

Very nice! Your top joints are a lot tighter than mine—I had a lot of trouble cutting and fitting that joint. I also made my braces out of solid wood and pegged them in to match all the other joints on the bench. I’m not sure why Schwarz used plywood and screws for just that part of the bench.

i used a shop made kerf jig, had to do some test cuts to get the procedure and technique right but it worked well

it came to me building this that Schwarz was just building saw horses, a semi disposable item, to use in building a project, whereas my project was the saw bench

plywood for the braces makes sense to me because it is less likely to fail, solid wood could split if stressed enough but should be fine for normal use

shop made kerf jig, blue tape is the fine adjustments
