Pen Making/Whatever Bench

sweet lisa !

this came out great .

does the unicycle make it easier to get around the shop ?

sounds better than a ’ hover-round ’ ( cheaper too ) !

especially when carrying a sheet of plywood (LOL) .

Lisa, that is way too nice to be in the shop. Can’t you take the bench in the house and use it for an island or something in the kitchen? The finish looks great too. I think I’ll have my neighbors cat vomit on my project to see if that helps my finish any. lol
It really does look great. Ever thought of a dresser with some drawers like this?

ROFL!!
David you are so funny : )
Brad- appropriately enough, the finish is BLO.

Hey Lisa, that is a very handsome bench. Nice way to spruce up the shop.

I have this crazy image of you turning pens whilst on the unicycle. Yew. Stay safe!

It is about time…
really does make a difference having nice work benches..If you spend as much time in the shop as elsewhere why not have beauty there too..

Wow! When I saw the project posting I thought this was the size for one drawer. This is WAY better (it was preety cool before).

Finallly, someone who has treated their lathe with the ultimate work bench! Very nice a one of a kind. I could see Rockler selling these some day….... Great job and thanks for sharing!

WOW Lisa this a fantastic bench. I have this lathe and it does not deserve to have a place this nice. Great job.

Lisa: Who says that workshop items should be drab. When were there we like things to look nice.

I’m prowd of you taking the step and cutting it up for what it was designed to do.

If you wan’t another one for the wall. Then you can make one for the wall.

A great looking job. Maybe you daughter needs some better looking woods to make pens from. Nobody want’s a drab pen.

Lisa,

Now that’s over the top. What a beautiful workbench. I’d be afraid to use it!

I don’t think I ever posted the dimensions of the original piece.
It is approximately 30” x 13”.
My cat has been scoping out his next target.
He also likes to go outside, get his paws wet, then leave paw prints
on the surface of my table saw. Slight rust. I just keep cleaning after him.
I have to, he was my grandfathers cat, and I promised my grandparents I
would take care of him. He just turned 16 years old…...

16 years. Wow, that’s an old cat. Guess you can’t blame him for caring on like that. I just found out that squirrels live for 25 years. That just blows me away when I see the little guys in the backyard. I wonder what they are like during their 25th year.
